Curiosity and wonder relate to each other in a way that one is needed to fulfill the purpose of the other. We need curiosity or the desire to learn whenever we wonder. When we wonder, we ask things because we are curious. Both are needed in seeking answers and in understanding philosophy. - Krisha Cagunot

# data[].attributes.body
To me, curiosity and wonder are quite similar which I think is why it can become challenging to distinguish between the two. After some thinking, however, I've come to realize that wonder might have stemmed from curiosity. In the sense that curiosity is a human's desire to gain insight and knowledge. And in order for one to do so, they must wonder and question the things around them.

# data[].attributes.body
After researching the differences of curiosity and wonder, I believe that they are very similar yet different at the same time. Although they both involve the desire to seek knowledge or the intention to understand a topic, curiosity has a more systematic approach. Curiosity is a careful study and analysis, while wonder is a spur-of-the-moment experience that leads to curiosity. I also believe that wonder is more emotion-driven than curiosity.
-Shariz Ngo

# data[].attributes.body
I'm under the impression the wonder both precedes and succeeds curiosity. We start to wonder on stuff that puzzles which we then delve in into curiosity where we can ask questions and find answers to feed our curiosity. Once our curiosity has been satisfied, we are then left again with wonder on how the subject matter amazes or we can go back to curiosity for more questions begging to be answered.

Another thing is that wonder appeals to emotion and feeling about something that's puzzling while curiosity appeals to our thoughts and principles on how certain things are.

I believe both words are part of the same process of learning. First, we are able to wonder on how things are made or what a certain item is. When our wonder grows, it becomes curiosity to learn and understand how a thing, item, or being  came to be. Our curiosity helps sets us out to a wonderful journey of learning. 😊

- Hannah Rana

Both wonder and curiosity are truly beautiful facilitators of how we take in and understand the world around us. The only difference between the two would be how the former sounds like it is born from idle thinking; as if you were just wondering what you’d eat for lunch next. However, the latter sounds like it is out of pure interest for something, there is a strong desire or eagerness to know more. Of course, these are just my basic observations from using those words in real life as well as results from a quick Google search. No matter their differences, I think both wonder and curiosity enables us to be active and passionate learners.

# data[].attributes.body
Wonder is a product of curiosity, among other things. But even if curiosity ends with the acquisition of a particular knowledge, wonder will never cease to exist. Wonder lives on in a person's mind for as long as they exist, possibly even after (which none of us can tell for sure).

# data[].attributes.body
I think wonder is a product of curiosity and at the same time, it may also deepen one's curiosity! Although these two concepts vary in definition with wonder often being associated with awe and curiosity with interest and inquiry, I believe that both work hand in hand and give value to each other.

What is the difference between Wonder and Curiosity?

# data[].attributes.body
In my own understanding, wonder and curiosity may seem to mean the same thing in the way that they seek to find answers but these, in fact, are two distinct things.

For me, wonder is more of a long-term and powerful action in which an individual sets out to seek answers in consideration of his/her emotions. It is similar to traveling on a journey wherein an individual may have various encounters that will lead them to explore beyond or perhaps wonder more.

Curiosity on the other hand is more of a straightforward action in which an individual simply stops being curious once an answer is found.

# data[].attributes.body
According to the dictionary definition, curiosity can be understood as being eager to learn about something. On the other hand, wonder refers to being curious about something or feeling (1) doubt, (2) admiration, (3) amazement, or (4) surprise.

With these in mind, I believe that curiosity is more like an innate trait of human beings that invites us all to explore what's unknown to us, and wonder (or wondering) is acting on our curiosity! When we wonder, we ponder on our thoughts and question more, leading to these feelings of doubt, admiration, amazement, or surprise at what we learn.

# data[].attributes.body
According to Neel Burton, "Knowledge extinguishes curiosity, but not wonder." Curiosity concerns the search for answers on topics of interest; and it ultimately comes to an end when knowledge is obtained. Wonder, on the other hand, is more connected to exploration and admiration. This is continual and prolonged.

# data[].attributes.body
I recently read a book which stated, "Wonder and curiosity are not the same. Curiosity chases while wonder lingers. Wonder is curiosity reclined, feet up and drink in hand. Wonder takes time. Wonder is personal."

In my understanding, the difference between the two lies in the type of questions we ask and why we ask them. Curiosity requires answers, and it wants them quickly. Wonder can sit in the unknown and in the uncertainty because that's where philosophizing truly happens.

# data[].attributes.body
Beth Tiu

Based on my current understanding of the 2 words, both have to do with finding answers to a certain question. Curiosity, however, seems to end once such a question has been answered, whereas wonder lives on as answers are never truly sufficient, or because there is much more surrounding the question that opens more doors for one to “wonder,” giving way for the feeling of awe and the sense of investigation to fester and continue burning.

# data[].attributes.body
I think curiosity is a byproduct of wonder as a whole. Wonder is, for lack of a better term, seeing the "magic" in the world and being enamoured by it. Curiosity, on the other hand is what happens when you want to know more about that magic. - Ray Reuben Alvarez

# data[].attributes.body
From what I could gather, curiosity is by definition a desire to know or learn something. The word curiosity is also derived from the latin word "cura" which means care, which is very fitting because why would we bother to learn or know more about something if we don't care about it. Wonder on the other hand is something that is made up of elements such as surprise, awe, and curiosity.

-JM Relampagos

# data[].attributes.body
I believe wondering and curiosity are pertaining to the desire to know something that eventually leads to questions. However, what separates the two is that wondering is more powerful in a sense that it involves admiration and expressiveness from the individual. In other words, curiosity is the idea of knowing the unknown while wondering is more of exploring the unknown because of one's admiration for that certain topic. -Julliene Gomez

Socrates once said, "Wisdom begins in wonder." This leaves us with the implication that to obtain wisdom, wonder comes with drive and continual exploration. Curiosity, on the other hand, gives the connotation that once an answer has been obtained, the exploration comes to a halt. - Chelsea Apolto

# data[].attributes.body
From my own understanding, curiosity comes before wonder. As humans, we become curious when we want to gain knowledge about something we aren't familiar about. On the other hand, we wonder about things we already know by questioning why things are the way they are. "Whereas curiosity seeks inquiry, wonder is an experience," (Green, 2018). - Jasmin Fernandez

Reading through an article (Stein, n.d.) which mentions Aquinas' definition of curiosity and wonder. Whilst both are, by definition, are similar,  their distinguishing factor comes from the motives or reasons why an individual would pursue understanding something. The former is motivated by aimless inquisitiveness -- without an objective in mind -- which often leads to 'evil,' whereas the latter is motivated by rationality -- with an objective in mind, and acknowledging the good and bad.

In my opinion, the difference between wonder and curiosity is, Curiosity expresses a need to explore or understand something. While wonder is the act of thinking about or considering something. But both are the same; the difference is that curiosity is stronger and more precise. -Mika De Guzman

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the main difference between wonder and curiosity is the level of desire for knowledge. For people who are simply curious about a certain matter, a surface-level of knowledge could easily satisfy them. This is because people who are curious are only searching for answers, not realizations. On the other hand, people who wonder about a certain thing are more likely to delve into the meaning to discover thus realize the nature of the said 'thing'.

# data[].attributes.body
Wonder and curiosity and connected because it deals with the desire to know and understand. Where they differ is how an individual acts on their desire to learn, curiosity is the desire for knowledge on certain topics one is curious about. Curiosity is short-lived, once our need to know is answered we move on to the next. But with wonder, it is the excitement and the thirst for understanding what is unknown to us, which in turn, drives our continuous pursuit of knowledge. Furthermore, unlike curiosity wonder does not end with finding answers. - Anes Watson

Coby Aves
While wonder and curiosity both involve a search for answers to questions we may have, I believe a substantial difference lies in the purpose behind the two. When we say we are curious, we simply want to know more about the matter at hand, whether it be for academic research or a personal interest. Its search for the answer is shallow, as opposed to wonder. When we say we wonder, it involves awe, admiration, and curiosity as well. Not only are we curious to find surface-level answers, but we also seek to understand the deeper meaning of what elicits such feelings of wonder within ourselves.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that curiosity pertains to an individual's natural desire to know and understand a reality or the truth. Therefore, when one is able to find the answers to his or her questions and discover the truth, one feeds his curiosity and extinguishes it. On the other hand, wonder is what keeps us going in our search for truth. Finding answers is not the end. As stated by Kelly Burton, wonder drives science and philosophy and advances humanity in a forward direction. Wonder pertains to awe, which is directed at something that is much greater than ourselves. In the speech of David Foster Wallace entitled "This is Water", wonder could be his example of trying to escape the default way of thinking about yourself and being bothered by annoying things. Wonder can even involve finding greater meaning in difficult situations.

"Knowledge extinguishes curiosity, but not wonder." This quote from Psychology Today's article entitled 'A Study of Wonder' captures the difference between curiosity and wonder quite brilliantly. Wonder entails curiosity and both entail this desire to know more about a certain thing. However, as stated by the quote, when presented with knowledge, curiosity stops where wonder doesn't. Wonder entails this sense of criticality and this desire to look at things in a more in-depth manner. Where curiosity is satisfied with a mere answer, wonder challenges that answer, poses questions to it, and seeks to examine it under multiple lenses.

For me, wonder seems to indicate something more than simply wishing to know like curiosity. Wonder is more about showing admiration and excitement about new and novel things. Curiosity seems to sate the desire to know more or to avoid the unknown while wonder is more about enjoying an adventure into our world through exploration and contemplation -Ryan Ramiro

# data[].attributes.body
Wonder and curiosity are both used in situations that present numerous unknowns to a person. In my opinion, wonder is a verb which deals with a problem and the need to solve it. For example, I wonder how am I getting to school today. On the other hand, curiosity describes a person who wants to gather more knowledge on a certain topic. Using the same example, I could be curious as to which mode of transportation is the fastest to get to school. (Matthew Masindo)

# data[].attributes.body
Curiosity and Wonder are both similar in nature with them relating to wanting to attain knowledge. However, I feel like curiosity can be lost after certain questions have been answered while wonder never ceases. In wondering, there is more satisfaction and meaning to the person when asking more questions and gaining more knowledge about it than curiosity.

Both curiosity and wonder deal with the desire for knowledge and understanding. However, they differ in the sense that curiosity is extinguished by knowledge; once the questions are answered, curiosity ends while wonder does not. Wonder is a more complex emotion that involves elements of surprise, curiosity, contemplation, and joy.  Unlike curiosity, wonder leaves us in awe and drives us to further continue our pursuit for knowledge. -Bea Alcantara (source: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/hide-and-seek/201412/study-wonder#:~:text=Curiosity%20derives%20from%20the%20Latin,extinguishes%20curiosity%2C%20but%20not%20wonder.&text=And%20so%2C%20although%20wonder%20involves,other%20and%20greater%20than%20either.)

Wonder, perhaps, is an attachment to the unanswered. Unlike curiosity, which can be extinguished upon knowledge, wonder stays and continues. It lingers on as a personal drive and motivation to know more. Wonder aims to turn every rock even if it is impossible.

Wonder and curiosity both deals with the engagement of thinking. What differs it is that wonder, can have a more personal attachment to a person. When we wonder, we do something about it and that's the point where we delve deeper into it. On the other hand, curiosity is a way of thinking to know about something. Once we know about it, we are already satisfied to know the answer. Wonder is I think a greater level of thinking than curiosity. -Melanie Dizon

Both curiosity and wonder deal with questioning something; however, wonder involves much more personal engagement and desire to know more about that thing. While curiosity is simply questioning something, in wonder, we take it a step further instead of merely seeking an answer/s. In curiosity, once we obtain the answers, the journey ends. In wonder, even after we get the answers, we continue to seek more and more in an attempt to learn and uncover layers upon layers of that thing.

# data[].attributes.body
Jay Kison

Although wonder and curiosity both involve the interest of knowing something, I believe the former has more significance in terms of emotional attachment and duration. When we are curious about something, this curiosity disappears once we get the answer. On the other hand, wonder causes us to ask more questions upon finding the answers. This makes wonder on a certain topic persist much longer and provides us feelings of joy or excitement upon learning something new. In other words, it is similar to us saying "tell me more" when we are genuinely interested in someone's story.

Curiosity may be considered active engagement to know more about Something as opposed to the almost "docile faith" of wonder. Considering this, maybe it can also be said that wonder is tempered by the knowledge gained from curiosity--tempered, but not necessarily extinguished, as curiosity would be.

The difference between curiosity and wonder is that the latter has more drive to attain knowledge of something.  To be curious may be just something that spurs out of the moment, with no real motive of desire to discover.  Whereas wonder has to do with the way we feel about something, which intensifies our drive to seek what it is that wonders us.

After reading the article by Neel Burton M.D., I think that the difference between curiosity and wonder lies in the gravity of their significance as well as the extent to which they can be satisfied. As I understood it, curiosity may or may not be short-lived, and is most often quelled once responded to. On the other hand, wonder is more lasting, encourages even further thinking and inquiry, and provides a greater sense of joy and appreciation for knowledge.

Based on what I read, curiosity and wonder are similar in that both want to pursue knowledge and understanding. The difference is that curiosity is easily sated with knowledge, while wonder is not. Once you know something about what you're curious about, you're not so curious anymore. Wonder on the other hand, is closely linked to feelings of awe and amazement. Once you gain knowledge, the wonder and awe remains. From this, I think it can be said that wonder goes deeper and further than curiosity.

“Wonder” and “curiosity” may seem like synonyms to us in the modern world, but the same cannot be said in history. In the past, philosophers believed that “wonder” had an element of faith — it reminds us of God’s power and leaves us in awe. On the other hand, according to Aristotle, the “curiosity” scientists had in attempting to understand the nature of the world was an aimless tendency to pry into matters that did not concern humanity.

According to Psychology Today, curiosity is something more temporary as compared to wonder. This is because as one accumulates more knowledge, one's curiosity-- the desire to know more about something-- will eventually end. Wonder, on the other hand, can go on even after knowing something. Curiosity and surprise is therefore, just a subset of wonder as it strives to go beyond and learn more. - Francesca Tan (Source: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/hide-and-seek/201412/study-wonder#:~:text=Curiosity%20derives%20from%20the%20Latin,extinguishes%20curiosity%2C%20but%20not%20wonder.&text=And%20so%2C%20although%20wonder%20involves,other%20and%20greater%20than%20either. )

I think the difference between wonder and curiosity is that wonder has the element of awe and cannot be simply satisfied with knowledge wherein curiosity lacks awe and can be satisfied with knowledge. Wonder does not simply end once knowledge is found. To use myself as an example, I realized how majority of the questions I have been asking in life have been due to curiosity instead of wonder as I have always stopped questioning once I found an answer or knowledge that I thought made sense. -Sam Golangco

# data[].attributes.body
To be curious is to have a desire to gain knowledge about something, and once knowledge is gained curiosity fades away. Whereas, to wonder is a mixture of admiration and curiosity. Unlike curiosity, which ends when knowledge is gained, the act of being in a state of “wonder” does not end when knowledge is presented. Instead, it raises contradictions and questions.

I believe that the difference between curiosity and wonder are how deep they go within one's mind. I think that curiosity is shallower than wonder because with wondering, one has the need and desire to satisfy their wonder. Curiosity can just be a whim and one may not even remember or know what they wanted to get out of their curiosity.

I believe that the terms wonder and curiosity differ on the fact that wonder requires there to be a sense of awe intertwined with inquiry, while curiosity can be sated by a mere statement of facts.

According to Aquinas and Aristotle, from what I understood, the difference between curiosity and wonder is in how they are applied or what the end results are.

Wonder involves elements of surprise, a form of interest. There is a surprise factor which forms as the division between expectation and reality, directing our attention to something unexpected and prompting us to further reflect and possibly revise our notions and beliefs.

From how I see it, wonder entails a great sense of interest and conviction in the self's involvement in the act of knowing. I understand wonder to be a more grounded factor in philosophy than curiosity, given that the latter generally implies the interest in knowing but can be fulfilled simply by an answer and does not necessarily suggest that the act of inquiry is sustained. With wonder, there is the sense of awe in the mere process of knowing, which signifies that this pursuit of truth and knowledge is not for mere advancement but because there is a genuine or significant want to understand deeply. Even going back to square one in such a pursuit does not deter those who engage in the act of philosophizing. - Thea Petricia M. Gonzaga

While curiosity and wonder are of similar terms that is rooted in learning or finding knowledge, there is a difference between two terms. Curiosity is a strong desire to know an information regarding facts or topics that leads to satisfaction of an individual while wonder includes a strong emotion of awe or marvel. -Marcial Fernando

Both curiosity and wonder are essentially the desire to know. However, Greek philosopher Aristotle argued that curiosity was much less significant compared to the act of wondering. According to him, curiosity was "a kind of aimless, witless tendency to pry into things that didn't concern us." Wonder, on the other hand, was considered by him to be "the true root of enquiry." As humans, we are all inherently curious about things that do not make sense to us. However, when we wonder about these "unknowns" we begin to develop a course of action to explain why and how certain things happen.

Curiosity and wonder are predicated on the "desire to know"  and "a cause of astonishment" as per the operational definition in Merriam Webster, respectively. Building upon this, my view is that wonder and curiosity's operational definition can be directed towards how people interact with the mundane and seemingly small niceties of everyday life.  David Foster Wallace lends a notable argument for this in his talk "This Is Water", wherein he argues that the way people choose to perceive meaning in the boring routines, through a more open, less arrogant way of going about thinking is crucial in living a meaningful life rather than the default setting of humans that are devoid of meaning.  If the default setting of life is the rat race that is void of meaning, then wonder and curiosity being rooted in both "knowledge" and "astonishment" necessitates a novel way of surmising meaning, for how can one be "astonished of knowledge" if it's devoid of meaning in status quo? I argue then that Curiosity and wonder are a redress of the mundane by finding a deeper uncommon way to appreciate the meaning of life that is often overlooked. - Abraham Diaz

Curiosity and wonder both entail inquisitiveness. However, curiosity is derived from a strong desire to learn and gain knowledge on anything while wonder is satisfying oneself with knowledge on something more personal or alluring. It comes along with a feeling of surprise, awe, admiration, and amazement. - Wendy Yuchengco

According to the Cambridge Dictionary, wonder as a verb is defined as asking yourself questions or expressing a wish to know about something, whereas curiosity is defined as an eager wish to know or learn about something. From my understanding, wonder is intrinsic as much as it is extrinsic, while curiosity is primarily an extrinsic approach of inquiry.        - Ezekiel Angeles

As mentioned above, curiosity and wonder are related in that they both spur a mind into wanting to know more than it does. However, the questions of curiosity seem to be grounded, answerable, and actionable, while those of wonder seem to be abstract and offer a feeling or experience, rather than something concrete.

Curiosity, based on what I have read on the internet, is the desire to know something and understand a concept or an idea that pushes the thinker to seek for an answer. While on the other hand, wonder mainly pertains to the thinker's awe or amazement over a subject.

Curiosity and wonder are similar where they both are initiated with the desire to know and understand an idea/concept; both attempt to search for answers to any question. However, what sets both apart is the degree/extent of desire to find these answers, where wondering entails the continuous trail of questions while curiosity might stop when an initial answer is found. - Juan Mig Villanueva

From the definitions that I have looked up online, wonder and curiosity are alike in the sense that they are both characterized by a degree of inquisitiveness. However, the difference lies in the excitement and astonishment that one might feel when you wonder. Curiosity entails a small spark, but I think wonder is more of a long-lasting flame.

After looking upon the definition of wonder and curiosity, both are similar in the sense of thinking about something unknown, however, wonder differentiates itself by being an idea that amazes the thinker while curiosity is driven by the thinker's desire for acquiring knowledge.

After reading a few articles, I have discovered that while wonder and curiosity both seek to gain knowledge through inquiry, the difference lies between the nature  these inquiries manifest. Curiosity entails a sort of temptation to learn more, which may or may not lead to a negative outcome. Wonder has a more passive tone, mostly entailing a desire to ponder upon a subject with awe.

Similarly, both concepts involve the desire to gain knowledge, however, what separates curiosity from wonder is that wonder is an inquiry deepened by awe. Citing Popovich (2013) Aristotle considered curiosity as having little significance to Philosophy for he argues that Thauma, or Wonder, is the true root of enquiry and, as such, is the beginning of Philosophy. - Mika Jacinto (source: https://www.brainpickings.org/2013/04/12/philip-ball-curiosity/)

Based on my research, curiosity is simply one’s desire for knowledge, which is easily satisfied with answers to one's questions. As for wonder, it is mixed with both curiosity and awe where, despite already obtaining knowledge, a person who feels wonder will continue to pursue a greater sense of thought. - Nica Rosete

According to a majority of available sources, curiosity is the desire for knowledge. This means, it could easily be satisfied by knowing. Wonder, however, is much more than wanting to know, for it is comprised not only of curiosity but as well as awe. Wondering is to marvel about things. Even with knowledge already obtained about a reality, the feeling of wonder remains and is not readily extinguished. - Kristen Sison

What I have found in the internet, which is pretty similar to the answers posted here, is that curiosity is simply the urge to know or the desire for knowledge. On the other hand, wonder involves curiosity to it but it also involves a certain emotion to it like being in awe or surprise.    - Gab Fulgencio

According to an article by Maria Popova she mentioned how Aristotle thought that even if all humans desire knowledge, it has little to do with curiosity as curiosity is more on inquisitions that are aimless. Wonder is different as it is awe or amazement and it is the root of asking questions therefore it is the start of philosophizing. - Louise Sanchez

From an article by Neel Burton M.D, both curiosity and wonder involves interest in the unknown. How it differs relies on the persistent attempt of the  mind in grasping the thought which supersedes knowledge. For curiosity could be satisfied, but wonder does not so easily get extinguished by knowledge and facts due to wonder involving respect, reverence or awe. It's almost as if wonder is more personal.

Going through some articles on the internet, from my understanding at least, curiosity is to have a desire to know , to be inquisitive about something while on the other hand wonder involves  having awe or amazement to it.-Kurt Ong

Wonder, as defined in articles found on the internet, is a pursuit or the activity of seeking knowledge that will render fruitfulness. In other words, wonder has an end goal that is rooted in the attainment of truth or of fundamental knowledge. Curiosity, on the other hand, is purposeless inquisitions. It is less concerned with the value of truth and more concerned with the satisfaction of knowing. - Ysa Sinlao

After reading some articles on the internet, wonder is perhaps best defined as a heightened state of consciousness and emotion brought about by something singularly beautiful, rare, or unexpected. While curiosity is to desire knowledge of that thing. Knowledge extinguishes curiosity, but not wonder. - Jenson Sy

From my understanding of different accounts on the web, Wonder is pondering upon different things with the aim of creating a better and more satisfying understanding of things; whereas, curiosity, is passive, more of merely wanting to simply know something (easily satisfied). - Paolo Bondoc

I believe that wonder, based on the definition in Merriam Webster, is the admiration of things beautiful and unexpected. While curiosity, also based from the Merriam Webster dictionary, is the desire to know things, or to be more inquisitive. - Daniel Britanico
