  • Critical Inquiry As Virtuous Truth-Telling: Implications of Phronesis and Parrhesia ______
    ______________________________________________________________________________ Critical Inquiry as Virtuous Truth-Telling: Implications of Phronesis and Parrhesia ______________________________________________________________________________ Austin Pickup, Aurora University Abstract This article examines critical inquiry and truth-telling from the perspective of two comple- mentary theoretical frameworks. First, Aristotelian phronesis, or practical wisdom, offers a framework for truth that is oriented toward ethical deliberation while recognizing the contingency of practical application. Second, Foucauldian parrhesia calls for an engaged sense of truth-telling that requires risk from the inquirer while grounding truth in the com- plexity of human discourse. Taken together, phronesis and parrhesia orient inquirers to- ward intentional truth-telling practices that resist simplistic renderings of criticality and overly technical understandings of research. This article argues that truly critical inquiry must spring from the perspectives of phronesis and parrhesia, providing research projects that aim at virtuous truth-telling over technical veracity with the hope of contributing to ethical discourse and social praxis. Keywords: phronesis, praxis, parrhesia, critical inquiry, truth-telling Introduction The theme of this special issue considers the nature of critical inquiry, specifically methodological work that remains committed to explicit goals of social justice and the good. One of the central concerns of this issue is that critical studies have lost much of their meaning due to a proliferation of the term critical in educational scholarship. As noted in the introduction to this issue, much contemporary work in education research that claims to be critical may be so in name only, offering but methodological techniques to engage in critical work; techniques that are incapable of inter- vening in both the epistemological and ontological formations of normative practices in education.

  • Phronesis, Artifacts and Leadership Practice
    Phronesis, Artifacts and Leadership Practice Richard Halverson University of Wisconsin - Madison Abstract This paper develops Aristotle’s idea of phronesis, or practical wisdom, as a framework to access, represent and communicate the complexity of successful instructional leadership practice in schools. The design and use of artifacts, the tools leaders develop and implement in their practice, provide a window into the patterns of problem-setting and problem-solving that guide the expression of phronesis in school leadership. Introduction It has long been recognized that where you find good schools, you also often find the legacy of strong leadership. Prior research has defined many of the characteristics of schools with strong instructional programs, such as professional community grounded in instruction among teachers and leaders, a shared sense of instructional vision, group ownership of the instructional process and links between supervisory, assessment and instructional practices. 1 School leaders are responsible for the design and maintenance of these essential conditions in existing school systems.2 However, while we know quite a bit about the characteristics of such school communities, we know quite a bit less about how these characteristics develop together to become distinctive features of the school community. A strong professional community among teachers, for example, can either presuppose or help create group ownership of instructional process, which in turn may Submitted for publication: Please to not cite without the author’s permission 1 2 depend upon or generate the need for stronger internal linkages between assessment and instruction. The implementation and coordination of these conditions is an important aspect of improving student learning in schools.3 Accessing how school leaders understand and manage schools calls for a new approach to understanding the leadership practice.

Yet they have not yet developed an institutionally based caring political theory.

Book Review F. J. Mootz III and G. H. Taylor, eds. Gadamer and Ricoeur: Critical Horizons for Contemporary Hermeneutics (New York/London: Continuum, 2011), 297 pp. Five years ago, it was totally impossible to find a book entirely dedicated to a systematic study of the complex relations between the hermeneutics of Gadamer and Ricoeur. This was quite surprising if we consider the importance of these two philosophers to the development of a hermeneutical philosophy over the last century. Fortunately, it seems that the relevance of a critical discussion on Gadamer’s and Ricoeur’s hermeneutics has recently become more obvious, first with the publication of Daniel Frey’s book on L’interprétation et la lecture chez Ricoeur et Gadamer (2008), and now with this initiative of Francis J. Mootz III and George H. Taylor to bring into conversation "Gadamerian and Ricoeurian scholars" in one volume. The result of this well- inspired idea is a book containing twelve chapters studying, from different perspectives, the agreements and disagreements between Gadamer’s and Ricoeur’s philosophies, not without significant convergences and divergences between the authors.

This paper asks what priority we should give inequalities that affect women; it critically analyzes Claudia Card's view that feminists ought to give evils priority. Sometimes ending gender-based inequalities is the best route to eliminating gender-based evil.

  • Classical Methods for the Modern Lawyer
    CLASSICAL METHODS FOR THE MODERN LAWYER: THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN ETHICS, MORALITY AND EFFICACY IN THE TRANSACTIONAL CONTEXT Gerald T. Nowak, P.C. PRACTISING LAW INSTITUTE: DRAFTING AND NEGOTIATING CORPORATE AGREEMENTS 2011 Chicago, Illinois -- February 10, 2011 K&E 14501746.2 Gerald T. ("Jerry") Nowak is a corporate partner in the Chicago office of Kirkland & Ellis LLP. He has a broad transactional practice, including capital markets transactions, M&A transactions and corporate governance matters. His capital markets practice focuses on complex securities matters, including initial public offerings, high yield offerings, spin-offs, tender offers and investment grade debt offerings. His M&A practice includes public and private acquisitions for private equity funds and public companies. He holds a B.A. from Michigan State University, an M.B.A from Auburn University and a J.D. from the University of Michigan Law School, none of which are in philosophy. ii K&E 14501746.2 I. INTRODUCTION A. Ethics, Morality and Efficacy As lawyers, we are bound by a code of ethics that regulates both what we do and how we do it. There are any number of technical rules that govern a lawyer’s behavior, from rules limiting lawyer advertising to rules regulating conflicts of interest, and, apropos to this article, rules regulating how we conduct ourselves in transactional negotiations. Much of the substance of the ethical rules can be summed up by the Cub Scout’s exhortation to “do your best” and “tell the truth.” The rules that govern a lawyer’s behavior are commonly referred to as “legal ethics” or the “ethical rules.” This nomenclature can be confusing to those of us who, prior to being taught otherwise, tended to conflate “ethics” with “morality.” At least in the legal arena, the two bear only a passing resemblance to one another.

Management education from episteme to phronesis: The contribution of French didactic theory Corinne Hahn ESCP Europe Christophe Vignon University of Rennes 1, France Abstract In this article, we review some of the criticisms levelled at current management education provided by business schools and the recommendations made by critical management studies scholars. These authors generally recommend placing greater emphasis on phronesis, that is, the manager’s practical wisdom. We investigated this path and formulated a practical solution, rooted in the operational framework provided by French didactic theory. It takes the form of a specific pedagogical device, the aim of which is to foster closer connections between experience acquired in professional settings and theoretical knowledge derived from management sciences.

Aristotelian phrónêsis, Aristotelian Philosophy of Dialogue, and Action Research reviewed by Ole Fogh Kirkeby 144 Phronesis as the Sense of the Event Ole Fogh Kirkeby In this article, the Greek concept of phronesis is analyzed on the basis of its philosophical roots, and the indispensability of its strong normative content is emphasized. This creates a distance to most of the recent under- standing of phronesis as prudence, and hence as practical wisdom with a pragmatic and strategic content. The strong dilemmas created by the nor- mative background of real phronesis present management and leadership as a choice in every situation. From this foundation, phronesis is inter- preted as primarily the sense of the event, and an alternative concept of the event is developed. The presentation of the event also demands a theory of the relation of mind and matter, and hence of the body in the event. This is achieved under inspiration from Stoic philosophy. With this in mind, the more serious approaches to practical wisdom: phronesis as determinant of meta-concepts of research; phronesis as a liberating organizational strategy of learning; phronesis as a strategy of knowledge management; phronesis as a narrative strategy; and phronesis as the capacity of the leader, are presented and analyzed.

  • Introduction Virtual Issue of Hypatia
    Introduction: Hypatia Essays on the Place of Women in the Profession of Philosophy INTRODUCTION Hypatia Virtual Issue: “Hypatia Essays on the Place of Women in the Profession of Philosophy” Edited by Ann E. Cudd This virtual issue brings together essays published by Hypatia over a twenty year timespan that address the question of women’s place in the profession of philosophy. The issue includes essays about women in the history of philosophy, empirical studies of the numbers of women at various stages in careers in philosophy, analytical essays about why women, including specifically women of color, are not reaching parity with white men in the profession, and essays and reports about what women are doing to change the representation of women in philosophy. The issue highlights the efforts that women have made through the centuries and in the pages of this Journal to demand a place for women as philosophers. The first section, “Women in Historical Perspective,” includes three essays and one archival document. We begin with an essay by Eileen O’Neill, “Early Modern Women Philosophers and the History of Philosophy,” in which she recalls a 1990 session at the Eastern Division APA meeting where she listed some sixty women in the history of early modern philosophy, almost none of whom had even been heard of by the audience. O’Neill goes on to record how this changed somewhat in the intervening fifteen years. She analyzes some of the reasons for the exclusion of women from the canon, and how much work is still to be done to accord these historical women their proper places as philosophers.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] An Aristotelian interpretation of practical wisdom: the case of retirees Abstract This paper aims to improve understanding of the concept of practical wisdom. The theoretical lens used is Aristotle's practical rationality or 'phronesis'. Researchers argue that practical wisdom should be used as an organising framework for professional knowledge. Aristotle believed that practical wisdom as the highest intellectual virtue. Phronesis is the complicated interactions between general (theory) and practical (judgement). The contribution of this paper is to discuss the properties of practical wisdom and how they interact based on an interpretation of retirees' knowledge. The paper summarises in-depth face- to-face interviews with nine retirees, i.e., nine separate case studies. A structured interview guideline based on a conceptual framework derived from literature was used to examine the nature of retirees' practical wisdom. People with wisdom make better decisions. Whereas episteme's technical knowledge may address complicated tasks, techne's wisdom enables people to resolve truly complex tasks. Techne provides personal judgement which enables the professional to judge their actions from an external and internal perspective.
