Description: Phronesis, or practical wisdom, has interested philosophers and psychologists for millennia. In this book Kristján Kristjánsson and Blaine J. Fowers work through some of the relevant puzzles created by the recent phronesis discourse, filling gaps in the current literatures, and pushing the research agenda in new directions.

Review Quotes: "This book represents a ground-breaking collaboration between a philosopher (Kristjánsson, Univ. of Birmingham, England) and a psychologist, whose aim is to develop a model of the intellectual meta-virtue phronesis (wisdom) that can be studied empirically with the tools and methods of the social sciences. Recommended." -- Choice
