Abstract
Abstract Most of the discourses on phronesis treat it as a personal strength of character, possessed by an individual. But is it possible to widen its scope to the collective level? The aim of this chapter is to provide an overview of various discourses relevant to developing a construct of collective phronesis, from a (neo)-Aristotelian perspective, with implications for professional practice in general and business practice and Business Ethics education in particular. Aristotle made intriguing remarks about phronesis at the collective level in his Politics that have mostly eluded elaboration. The aim of this chapter is practical and revisionary, rather than exegetical and deferential, with respect to Aristotle. Nevertheless, just as most of the literature on individual phronesis draws on Aristotle’s exposition in the Nicomachean Ethics, the obvious first port of call for an analysis of collective phronesis is to explore the resources handed down to us by Aristotle himself.
