La phronesis umana. A margine di "La prudenza in Aristotele" di Pierre Aubenque

Abstract

Taking the cue from the recent Italian edition of 'La prudence chez Aristote' (1963) written by P. Aubenque, in this article, 'La phronesis umana. A margine di La prudenza in Aristotele di Pierre Aubenque', we want to retrace the genesis of the concept of phronesis in Aristotle: on the one hand, this allows us to investigate the relationship between theory and praxis, which is far from clear and which has considerable implications; on the other hand, with this analysis we have the opportunity to problematize the political horizon and this enables us to speak of the virtue, which otherwise would not be explained.
