Political Wisdom
View through CrossRef
AbstractThis chapter takes up Aristotle’s striking claim that practical wisdom (phronēsis) and political wisdom (politikē) are, in a sense, the same understanding. The key idea that the chapter develops is that the person of political wisdom has the very same grasp of practical universals that belong to the person of practical wisdom but deliberates about these in relation to the political community as a whole. As someone equipped with the totality of the virtues, the person of practical wisdom has an understanding of the common good, which is the collective flourishing of the citizens, as well as the deliberative excellence needed to bring it about. The simultaneously universal and practical character of the understanding that just is phronēsis is therefore clearly displayed in its manifestation as political wisdom. In this way, this final substantive chapter of the book helps confirm the view that has been developed in the preceding chapters.
