“Certainly, the geru maa has wisdom as one of his defining features, but it is not his most definitive feature. The defining feature of the Maatian person is his or her Maatness, an inclusive characteristic which has a moral, spiritual, intellectual and social dimension. In a word, then, wisdom is a facilitating virtue, it is not the definitive one for the Maatian person.”
