| | Sophia Summary |
 | | SOPHIA is a Greek word that means "wisdom." In the Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures (Old Testament), the name Sophia is given as a translation of Ḥokhmah (also meaning "wisdom"), the name of a figure with feminine features. |
 | | There is thus a sense in which sophia encompasses both the necessary truths that follow from demonstrations (the domain of epistēmē) and the necessary truths that are the first principles of the demonstrative sciences (the domain of nous). |
