  1. Politics and Practical Wisdom: Rethinking Aristotle’s Account of Phronesis.Chris W. Surprenant - 2012 - Topoi 31 (2):221-227.
    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 society.
