چکیده

Although the Aristotelian text, particularly in VI NE, is not supportive, A way of interpreting the Aristotelian concept of phronesis in philosophical hermeneutics, especially in Gadamer’s philosophy, leads to describing a relationship between phronesis and aesthetics. While some parts of Aristotle’s corpus, including his theory of beauty, are lost, some evidence in his ethical texts probably explains the place of beauty in Aristotelian ethics. Analyzing Aristotelian original texts and their terminology refuses any probable evidence for engaging the Aristotelian concept of phronesis with aesthetics. However, the silence of the Aristotelian corpus about beauty and its connection to ethics allows us to consider the hermeneutical interpretation of phronesis as an authentic interpretation In the context of Aristotle.
