The last chapter of Suzanne Langer's, Tthe Practice of Philosphy" (it's preface by Whitehead is dated 1929) concerns wisdom and appears in print in 1930. It would appear to be a forgotten book - even among women in philosophy interested in the topic of woman philosophers.
The last chapter - an Epilogue - provides a striking contrast to the Heidegger of 1927-1939 (and his Davos confrontation with Cassirer.)
Of note is Chapter VII, "Insight", which is said to have influenced Bernard Lonergan.
