Perhaps one could stretch the comprehensiveness that constitutes wisdom to include not only intellect but also feeling. It is by no means uncommon to find men whose knowledge is wide but whose feelings are narrow. Such men lack what I call wisdom.

* a brief comment:
That translation method is excellent because it carefully distinguishes between "feeling" and "feelings" in Japanese while maintaining consistency.
In particular, the distinction between "感性 (feeling)" and "感情 (feelings)" is appropriate for the following reasons:
Translating "feeling" (singular) as "感性" gives it a broad meaning that contrasts with intellect. In this context, "feeling" does not simply mean emotion but also implies empathetic understanding, intuitive insight, and the breadth of value judgment, making "感性" an appropriate translation.
Translating "feelings" (plural) as "感情" makes it clear that it refers to individual emotional reactions and passions. The phrase "a person whose feelings are narrow" effectively conveys the nuance of lacking empathy or having narrow-minded value judgments.
