Phronesis
(practical wisdom) Aristotle’s term for the intellectual virtue that enables a person to deliberate well about what is good in particular situations and to act accordingly. Unlike theoretical knowledge, phronesis cannot be reduced to rules but requires cultivated moral perception that guides all other virtues.
Virtue ethics
Virtue ethics is an approach to morality that focuses on developing good character traits rather than on rules or consequences, originating with Aristotle and identifying eudaimonia (human flourishing) as the goal of moral life.
