A proposito di questo titolo
This academic text explores prudence as a cardinal virtue, challenging common misconceptions that equate it with timidity and instead defining it as "the art of acting well" or "right reason applied to action." The document emphasizes that prudence is not merely theoretical but rooted in concrete reality, guiding ethical decisions in everyday life. It explains the virtue's complex structure through eight integral parts, such as memory, understanding, and foresight, and discusses how prudence guides and orders other virtues like justice and fortitude. Drawing heavily on Catholic doctrine, especially the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas, Josef Pieper, and St. Josemaría Escrivá, the text highlights the spiritual dimension of prudence and its practical applications in family, professional, and social life, asserting that it is a cultivable virtue essential for leading a truthful, charitable, and free existence.
