This comprehensive volume explores and reevaluates the significance of practical wisdom in the context of the latest advancements in virtue theory, moral, social, and developmental psychology. The concept of phronesis has long been central to the development of Aristotelian virtue ethics and moral education. Nevertheless, there remains a need for in-depth exploration of phronesis, particularly in light of the recent insights gained from philosophy and science. The essays featured in this volume contribute to the ongoing debate on practical wisdom by shedding light on its role in empirical psychology and raising crucial research questions. They address a range of topics related to practical wisdom and its development, such as honesty, ecocentric phronesis, social cognitive theory, practical wisdom in limited-information contexts, Whole Trait Theory, skill models, the reciprocity of virtue, and challenges from situationism.

Practical Wisdom is a valuable resource for researchers and advanced students engaged in the fields of virtue ethics, moral psychology, and moral education. It offers a comprehensive examination of practical wisdom and its development, providing valuable insights into the role of this concept in contemporary ethical and psychological discourse. By engaging with the ideas presented in this volume, scholars and practitioners can deepen their understanding of practical wisdom and its potential applications in promoting moral growth and well-being.
