What is Phronesis?
I've been doing my deep philosophical diving thing, exploring the question from many different schools of thought and religions: what is the good = the best way to live a life?
Socrates and Plato, the great Greek philosophers, say that the answer is something that can be learned, which gives you wisdom, and then once you gain that wisdom, you can live out that best life.
This reminds me of why I have Wisdom as the 5th attribute of the heart. The purpose of learning isn't to accumulate knowledge - it's about how to become your best self, or how to live from the good.
Wisdom isn't some abstract thing - it's what the Greeks called phronesis - practical knowledge of knowing the right thing to do in any circumstance and being able to do it.
So, let's have this as this week's prompt. Learn something that will bring you closer to wisdom, to knowing how to live your best life and how to do it. Watch a YouTube, TikTok, read something, ask AI. (Watch one of the videos in this Classroom!!!) Sharewhat you learn here in the Community.
