Résumé

The concept of virtue by Alasdair MacIntyre has been treated by his critics in a unsystematic and shallow way. In particular, the virtue of prudence (the ‘phronesis’) has received little attention. Prudence is a very important virtue in MacIntyre’s thought, although the author has not analyzed it in a unitary and systematic way.

The aim of this paper is to offer an exposition and an analysis of this virtue in MacIntyre’s thought
