Abstract

The theme of the article is the Heideggerian appropriation of Aristotle's practical philosophy, and how this would imply the concept of “phrónesis”; The question is what role this Aristotelian concept would play in his investigations in the 1920s. The aim is to indicate how this is thought of in two important works from this period, the Natorp Report and Plato’s Sophist. A related goal is to understand how the concept appears within the scope of phenomenological interpretations of the Stagirite, especially in Nicomachean Ethics. The aim is to indicate that phrónesis (treated as circumvision and bringing with it the genesis of the existential care) is what can practically guide us in our behavior, providing a vision of the open and implying interaction with our being. It will be necessary to indicate how phrónesis is linked to a way of uncovering being-there and to highlight how the entity that we are is given to Heidegger's future existential phenomenology.
