The prince of prudence in Aristotle: the spoudaios understood from deliberate choice and voluntary action

Abstract

In order to demonstrate that the spoudaios (the valorous) is revealed by acting prudently, this work describes the virtue of prudence in Aristotle demonstrated that the spoudaios always depend on a new action to demonstrate itself as such. It is possible to conclude that spoudaios is, at the same time, agent and patient. Agent, for it is through him that prudence is revealed; patient, for, only after his action has passed, it is possible that the prudence in which he will be revealed may or may not appear in the world.
