In [[ancient Greek philosophy]], '''{{transliteration|grc|phronesis}}''' ({{langx|grc|[[wikt:φρόνησις|φρόνησις]]|phrónēsis}}) refers to the type of [[wisdom]] or [[intelligence]] concerned with practical action. It implies good judgment and excellence of [[Moral character|character]] and habits. In [[Aristotelian ethics]], the concept is distinguished from other words for wisdom and intellectual [[virtue]]s (such as {{transliteration|grc|[[episteme]]}} and {{transliteration|grc|[[Sophia (wisdom)|sophia]]}}) because of its practical character.
