For this writing I have proposed to connect the concepts of analogy, phronesis and eudemonia in and from the work of Mauricio Beuchot, founder of the proposal called Analogical Hermeneutics. Analogy, as it is understood, in principle does not refer to the analog, as opposed to the digital. Analogy, along with univocality and equivocality, is a way of preaching that teaches that not everything has a single meaning nor is everything dispersed in multiple senses. Prudence is the virtue par excellence. It is the door to the other virtues. It is, according to Mauricio Beuchot, the incarnate analogy. It consists of the willingness to choose the appropriate means for the purposes pursued. The goal of the human being is happiness. It is distinguished by wealth, pleasure and honor. It is well that it corresponds to the human being for the fact of being human. Thus, structuring the analogy in life, as prudence, encourages, individually and socially, to seek happiness through the best means, that is, those that contribute to the plenitude of oneself and others.

Despite the recent interest in phronesis ('practical wisdom') and the creation of a four-componential model to unpack its nature, various puzzles (philosophical, psychological, and educational) remain about those components, not least the proposed one of «emotion regulation». This paper introduces four remaining puzzles about this component and provides a brief overview of possible responses based on Aristotle's texts. However, given his own naturalistic method, in which ethical theorising must be constantly updated in light of empirical findings, the paper suggests that Aristotle's texts only take us thus far and that we need to draw on contemporary psychological sources for further enlightenment. Therefore, it invokes research from the last quarter of a century about so-called «meta-emotions», of great relevance given the meta-status of phronesis as an integrative virtue. Some of the possible implications of this research for an understanding of the emotional component of phronesis are elicited, as well as how it can be cultivated as part of character education.

The article presents Juan Antonio Pérez López's theory on organization, highlighting his focus on the human side of organizations and the relationship between people's well-being and the success of companies. The influence of Chester Barnard and Philip Selznick on Pérez López's theory is mentioned, as well as the importance of satisfying people's motives in an organization. It also discusses the importance of learning and informal control in organizations, as well as the importance of analyzing uncertainties in business and personal decision-making. Finally, the scientific rivalry between Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison is mentioned, and how their approaches differ in terms of theory and calculation. [Extracted from the article]

The article analyzes the interaction model proposed by Juan Antonio Pérez López and its relationship with learning in organizations. The importance of understanding each interaction as unique is highlighted, as well as how uncertainty affects the evolution of interactions between agents. It is proposed to delve into the analysis of decision-making under uncertainty and its relationship with JAPL's conceptual model. It also discusses the added value that learning can generate for a company and how this learning can evolve in the future with the arrival of Artificial Intelligence and social networks. The importance of using a language of probability to describe and work with uncertainty is mentioned. The text discusses different types of uncertainty and how they can be represented and treated through probability distributions. The importance of ethics in learning and decision-making in the business field is mentioned. It emphasizes that learning occurs through action and that people learn from the actions of others. The importance of experience and practical wisdom in decision-making is mentioned. Additionally, a table is presented summarizing the different types of uncertainty and their relationship with learning. The responsibility of not simplifying the phenomenon and treating people as objects is emphasized, as this can generate indignation and negatively affect learning. Finally, the concern is raised that the automation of human activities through artificial intelligence may limit the ability to design sustainable competitive advantages. The article also discusses the limitation of standard methods used by doctors to treat patients and the concern about data collection by social networks and large companies without explicit user consent. It warns about the risk of losing freedom and allowing companies to control our behaviors. [Extracted from the article]

The article "Humanism thresholds. The polarities of culture and their narratives" intends to introspect humanism as a narrative project, and as an affective process that requires practices and cultural products to configure human beings and societies. From a transdisciplinary standpoint and from various perspectives, the notion of humanism is problematized as an affective configuration that is woven from two fundamental experiences: the sublime and the abject. Extremes that in their manifestations become the axes of elaboration of any sense of "the human" and that support the various stories and objects that in Western culture have been identified with humanism. Humanistic narratives expressed in multiple aesthetic products that in their various proposals wish to be wise. For humanism fundamentally integrates practical wisdom, more than theories or ethical or philosophical elaborations; basic premises of any human group that in their primarily function established both individual ways of proceeding and social practices.

Based on an interpretative philosophical approach, this text aims to study the scope and limitations of the model for critical reading proposed by the Ministry of National Education of Colombia. To address the above, first, it studies how the critical reading tests are designed and what it means to interpret a text; second, it discusses the importance of critical reading for the promotion of practical wisdom, and third, it responds why it is important to conceive reading as a formative experience from creative and plural perspectives.

Within the Rhetoric there have been important movements to assert themselves in the digital sphere. To signify themselves, they have opted for the terms "cyber-rhetoric" or "digital rhetoric": a name change that would be justified if they had proposed a substantial change in the discipline from the disruption that digital technology supposes, but what they propose is continuity from the classical postulates, avoiding the inevitable frictions. As a starting point for a more attentive rhetoric to the corpus generated by new communications in digital environments (not so focused on the formulas inherited from the classics), we propose the notion of "digital prudence": M. Prensky proposed the notion of "digital wisdom" versus that of digital natives. This allowed a gradation with the different ways in which individuals interact with technology, more scalable and free of determinisms. With "digital prudence", which refers to the classical phronesis (prudent individuals in Aristotle), we highlight the reflexes that are necessary for users and, on a second level, for discipline, to take advantage of the possibilities of digital communication, which are constantly updated. This notion reinforces the practical nature of this digital wisdom, to avoid the temptation of wanting to force the meaning and forms of the new linguistic communications with some parameters - the classical formulas for discourse - that are not always the most appropriate.

Virtue Ethics is an ethical school that starts from the concept of virtues formulated by Aristotle, placing it as the center of all ethics. Moral rules and actions are to be understood and analysed from the point of view of virtues, not the other way around. This conception of ethics brings important consequences in the theory and practice of education, because the formation of virtues becomes an essential element of pedagogy. Contemporary authors, such as Abbà and Samek Lodovici, developed proposals on how virtue education would take place. Such education would consist of a communicative praxis, in which the educator transmits different kinds of knowledge and guides the student. The ultimate goal of the educational process would be the acquisition of stable virtues, guided by phronesis or practical wisdom (prudence), which is the virtue of the right reason to choose concrete actions. The educated would be someone who freely adheres to moral goods, those who perfect him as a human being. This adhesion is possible by the presence of virtues, which grow and deepen as the subject acts in accordance with them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Character development requires not only high-quality curriculums, but also educators who are able to adapt programs to learners' needs and context and staff development strategies. Big data and learning analytics strategies may improve youth character development especially in developing countries facilitating educators' development and practical wisdom, as well as curriculum implementation's effectiveness in countries with less knowhow in the issue. This study presents a systematic mapping literature review on the models and methods of learning analytics applied in the improvement of youth character education. Based on the literature review results, the research provides insights for future research and implementation of character education programs, and proposes a revised participatory knowledge management data-driven procedure that may facilitate educators to identify and undertake the best character formation actions in specific situations.

The philosophical hermeneutics of Hans- Georg Gadamer represents one of the most influential and prolific philosophical trends of the second half of the twentieth century. The author of Truth and method, inspired by his master Martin Heidegger, raises the problem of our historicity by regaining the concept of hermeneutics situation. The way that Gadamer takes is that of recuperating classical practical philosophy, emphasizing the Aristotelian concepts of phronesis and ethos. Thus, he recuperates Aristotelian philosophy and postulates the necessity of resorting to its philosophical categories with the aim of overcoming the modern crisis of the human sciences.

It is through the Aristotelian ethics and its foundation in virtue, from where it is intended to lay the philosophical basis for thinking that there could be some virtues that should be incorporated in the basic training of lawyers and specifically the conciliator lawyer. This article selected both, ethical and intellectual virtues, which must be introduced into the curricula of the programs of law for the ethical training of these professionals. The virtues that were selected are: (i) Justice, since it is willing to practice what is right; (ii) the prudence by which the lawyer conciliator is able to deliberate properly about what is good and (iii) wisdom, intellect and science; intellect because it refers to the principles and science because it refers to things susceptible of demonstration from principles.

In this article is intended the proposal of recovering the education of fealings, which has been neglected. In the ancient times this was done by the tragedy, directed to the equilibrium of passions. Now it would be necessary to adopt another means, but it always has to do with experience. It deals with the experience of humanity, which has to be profited for the education of people.

In the revival of practical rationality and the Aristotelian phronesis, stand out the contribution of Ikujiro Nonaka, renowned author of a cognitive theory of the firm. This article summarizes the proposal ofJapanese author, indicating the place of phronesisas knowledge and skill. It is emphasized that practical wisdom is the essential virtue of the leader to manage the creation of knowledge in the company, and it is pointed out the abilities that make it. Then a critical assessment is made from classical philosophy of knowledge, indicating the correspondences with Nonaka's proposition and its faults. The exclusion of the will in his analysis of management action is highlighted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

According to the Aristotelian definition of EN VI (1140b20), phronésis is a practical true hexis accompanied by reason and it refers to human goods. The present essay intends to answer a double question: what is a habitual disposition (hexis) and why phronésis is a kind of hexis? Part of the answer lies in Metaphysica Delta 20 and 23, and part in Categories 8. This research is just the starting point of a broader question that is intended to be answered later: what is the relationship between prudence and truth? In addition, why phronésis is always true, as always true are science, art, wisdom and virtue? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Regardless of the cultural level have a lot people think that the anesthesiologist is a technician, a nurse or a general practitioner trained to practice anesthesiology. Unfortunately we as anesthesiologists are responsible for these views, because of the attitudes that we project in our environment. We need to reflect on what is professionalism, how can achieve? And how can you measure? Professionalism is something specific to the profession in question and is a mantle of behaviors. It is a state that takes years to achieve and must be maintained throughout the career. For Hilton and Slotnik, professionalism consists of personal attributes and cooperation attributes. How professionalism can be achieved? Is achieved through protoprofesionalismo, period of time before professionalism gained, begins when an individual starts his career as a medical student and ends when the individual is a mature professional who possesses Phronesis or practical wisdom. How can you measure? One of the main problems of teaching and professional assessment is the lack of adequate teaching professionally for doctors anesthesiology residents. The professionalism has many factors difficult to measure and most are subjective, that is, many of the items that can serve to measure depend on the perception of the evaluators. There are good studies evidence level to assess the communication skills and professionalism of practicing physicians and anesthesiology residents in a variety of environment using a multi-scale technique with feedback, measurement or evaluation of anesthesiology resident learning and teachers should be performed with well-structured and high levels of evidence that allowing us to achieve assessments increasingly objective.

The dichotomy created by the use of medical technology and its consequences in the field of physician-patient relationship leads to the following questions: What is the sense of responsibility of the physician in your practice? What about the patient regarding disease and health? Does responsibility help to shape an ethos in which a practical rationality lies, and as Adela Cortina said, would it be a responsible and supportive ethos? In order to explore the link between the principle of liability and medical practice arising from the doctor-patient encounter, this paper provides elements to define the sense to understand the medical liability and their relationships with medical practice and freedom from the horizon of understanding composed by ethical positions of Aristotle, Kant, Weber, Hans Jonas, Adela Cortina, and Gadamer. The analysis of medical liability from medical encounter and freedom leads to identify practical solidarity next to the recognition of the other in an extension of love and compassion, to finally conclude that prohairesis and phronesis, are elements of practical solidarity underlying medical liability of the medical ethos.

Performing experiments with animals requires that professionals regard their research works as rational acts and aim to concrete, logic and prudent (phronesis) acts. This intellectual virtue is the one Aristotle speaks about in his Nicomachean Ethics, which alludes the right intention in human acts. This paper reflects about phronesis and the way it makes a contribution to the scientists who work with animals, in order to help them taking reflected decisions that are sustained on the information required and necessary in order to avoid harming other life forms. Intellectual virtues are fundamental for the development of science that aims to find the truth and the right reasoning. The good habits that can make intellectual virtues more perfect are a solid base to form the researcher's character. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In his book Truth and Method, H.-G. Gadamer promoted the renaissance of Aristotle's practical philosophy. In his interpretation, however, practical philosophy tends to be identified with phrónesis, i.e. with practical wisdom. For Aristotle practical philosophy is a scientific knowledge (epistéme), although less rigorous than theoretical philosophy, and uses demonstrations, though its demonstrations are valid in most cases, but not always. Practical philosophy, moreover, employs a dialectical method, consisting in the discussion of different opinions (phainómena) in the light of the most reputed premises (éndoxa). Phrónesis, on the other hand, is a virtue, i.e. an excellence of reason, consisting in the capacity of good deliberation, i.e. of choosing the means which are the most apt to attain a right goal. Consequently, for Aristotle, the phrónimos (wise man) does not need to be a philosopher, whilst a philosopher, if he wants to attain the sophia (theoretical wisdom), must be a phrónimos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper pretends to examine the Ricoeur's notion of Phrónesis, from the point of view of an individual ethics, aiming to show that it is much more than just a kind of mediation for moral conflicts. The place and role of this phrónesis in at every level (teleological, deontological and prudencial) of Ricoeur´s «small ethics» will be examined. In doing so, a dialectic between the desire and the rule will be exposed, as well as the relation between ipseity and alterity, both according to the concept of phrónesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

According to Manuel Atienza, a theory of legal reasoning should give an answer to the following three questions: how to analyze an argumentation, how to evaluate it, and how to argue. This conception of the theory of legal reasoning is, however, too restrictive. In addition to providing a sound answer to these questions, a theory of legal reasoning should also give us an answer to the question of which judicial virtues are necessary to make good arguments. A theory of legal reasoning is thus intimately linked to a theory of judicial ethics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Harry Collins' Tacit and Explicit Knowledge is engaged to clarify and expand the notions of tacit and explicit. A broader continuum for tacit knowledge and its indirectly or only partially explicable components is provided by complementing Collins' exposition of tacit knowledge with a discussion of formal systems and Polanyi's exposition of tacit knowing. Support is provided for Collins' distinction between strings and language, mechanical modeling as a form of explication, and the notion that machines lack tacit knowledge and language. While Collins emphasizes the inexplicability of cultural fluency as tacit knowledge, Polanyi emphasizes the functional dimension of skillful performances. The conceptual strengths and weaknesses of Collins' and Polanyi's approaches are examined. Collins' emphasis on string transformation and his division of tacit knowing into Relational (RTK), Somatic (STK), and Collective (CTK) are helpful tools, but should not flatten Polanyi's multiple levels of knowing and being into a dualism that may encourage reductionism.

This article states that the theory of Aristotelian phrónesis bears a direct relation to a principle of concrete Greek reality, i.e. political reality understood as action, meaning an ability to "lead", to direct towards the good, and consequently to happiness, in the last place. The articulation of a practical philosophy and the historical analysis is given by the empirical research undertaken by Aristotle, which appears in his Politics and his Athenaion Politeia, which in turn has a direct link to the theory of phrónesis as it is found in the Nichomachean Ethics.
