Phronesis is the Aristotelian notion of practical wisdom. In this
collected series, phronesis is explored as an alternate way of
considering professional knowledge. In the present context
dominated by technical rationalities and instrumentalist
approaches, a re-examination of the concept of phronesis offers a
fundamental re-visioning of the educational aims in professional
schools and continuing professional education programs. This book
originated from a conversation amongst an interdisciplinary group
of scholars from education, health, philosophy, and sociology, who
share concerns that something of fundamental importance - of moral
significance - is missing from the vision of what it means to be a
professional. The contributors consider the ways in which phronesis
offers a generative possibility for reconsidering the professional
knowledge of practitioners. The question at the centre of this
inquiry is: "If we take phronesis seriously as an organising
framework for professional knowledge, what are the implications for
professional education and practice?" A multiplicity of
understandings emerge as to what is meant by phronesis and how it
might be reinterpreted, understood, applied, and extended in a
world radically different to that of the progenitor of the term,
Aristotle. For those concerned with professional life this is a
conversation not to be missed.
