Summary

Philosophers ancient, medieval, and modern have considered prudence (phronesis, providentia/prudentia) - practical wisdom, reasoned discernment - to be the foundation of all virtues. The Revd Dr Andrew Davison, Oxford's Regius Professor of Divinity, will draw on his great love for the 13-thcentury theologian Thomas Aquinas to explicate what prudence could mean for us.
