Politics and Practical Wisdom: Rethinking Aristotle’s Account of Phronesis
Topoi 31 (2):221-227 (2012)
Abstract
This paper examines the nature of Aristotelian phronesis , how it is attained, and who is able to attain it inside the polis . I argue that, for Aristotle, attaining phronesis does not require an individual to perfect his practical wisdom to the point where he never makes a mistake, but rather it is attained by certain individuals who are unable to make a mistake of this kind due to their education, habituation, and position in societyAuthor's Profile
