▼ In Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle proposed the idea of âphronesisâ.
Phronesis means someone can tell different situation before he makes a decision, and he knows how to analyze the priority from many things. In this thesis I chose five stories through narrative inquiry approach, and the research findings are:
1. Identity change:
When identity or position starts transforming, few of people can perceive the difference of the identity changing sensitively and make proper decision accordingly. By perceiving problems, self-reflecting and solving problems, individual would be capable to realize the necessity of changing identity and the best way of adapting which will lead to solution to problems. That is, the transformation of identity is
phronesis.
2. Awareness:
Observation is one of essential elements to make best decision during various contexts. Cultivating this ability to become a prominent sales person through discovering object's preference and speculating ideas. Awareness is accomplished by observation through practice in every workplace.
3. Learning from practice:
According to Aristotleâs description on
phronesis, it is accumulated from the experience of practice. However, a genuine
phronesis needs introspection and continuous trial and learning as well to complete the concept rather than the practice alone.

▼ This essay is an attempt to scrutinize dance improvisation in terms of Aristotle’s concept of the practical knowledge phronesis. By remembering and reflecting upon lessons and my own practical knowledge and experience as a teacher in the subject of dance improvisation, I want to examine the ability to improvise as the dance students´ phronesis. Awareness, spontaneity and intuition are vital elements for the comprehension of phronesis and even represented in the basis training in dance improvisation. During the contemplation I have used philosophical books and texts mainly about practical knowledge, intuition and reflection.

▼ This dissertation seeks to cultivate a deeper conceptual understanding of critical thinking within the philosophy of education tradition. For until such time as theorists understand what critical thinking is, including, how it works, educators will remain unclear as to what sort of educational accomplishments are required if one is to be rightly considered a critical thinker, and what means are likely to be successful in teaching people to think critically. Within this context, the dissertation argues for a neo-Aristotelian conceptualization of critical thought based on Harvey Siegel's (1988, p.23) 'reasons-assessment' criteria. Here I argue for the importance of critical thought embodying the prototypical phronimos, where habituated deliberative excellence accurately determines undefeated or decisive reasons for normatively-calibrated actions in the practical domain. This judgment (proairesis) is based on stress-testing the strength of normatively-calibrated reasons supporting a given course of action. Drawing on theorists such as, Dunne (1993), Paul & Elder (2002; 2005; 2007; 2009), and Siegel (1988; 1997; 2017), I proffer a new conceptual explication of criticality, one which integrates phronetic deliberation and judgment with a deep sensitivity and responsiveness to the probative force of reasons-normativity in accurately determining undefeated reasons for 'knowing what one should do' in the practical domain (Anscombe, 1957, p13).

▼ Subscribing to Hans-Georg Gadamer's belief that human beings are called to be insightful and discerning, this dissertation explores Gadamer's idea and practice of listening to language in order to understand the relationship between a constitutive theory of language and a life of wisdom. As Gadamer's texts reveal, the hermeneutic practice of listening to language is a reflective engagement of language that is theoretically grounded in a constitutive view of language. First, we need to listen to language because language, not consciousness, is the critical element in understanding. Second, the ontological priority of language over subjectivity comes with the nature of our primary relationship to language – we belong to it. Language is the medium in which we think and live, which makes us human. This means that our primary and most consequential relationship to language is as hearers, not users, of language. Third, the nature of language is both binding and expansive; hence the problems that come with its binding nature can be attended to from within language itself, by engaging its expansive nature. In other words, Gadamer does not believe in linguistic determinism.
The first chapter explores the conversation between Gadamer and communication studies by surveying what communication scholars have found significant for communication theory and practice in Gadamer's thought. The next three chapters examine Gadamer's idea and practice of listening to language through a close interpretive reading of Gadamer's texts. This reading reveals three key relationships that define the hermeneutic practice of listening to language: the relationship between ordinary language and conceptual thought (chapter two); the relationship between hearing and understanding (chapter three); and the relationship between language and reason (chapter four). The last chapter takes the conversation between Gadamer and communication studies further by considering some ways in which the hermeneutic practice of listening to language can assist communication scholars and practitioners in becoming discerning and insightful.

▼ In this thesis, I explore Aristotle’s conception of the relation between practical wisdom (
phronesis) and the end of action. Intellectualists claim that
phronesis determines the end of action, whereas non-intellectualists claim that virtue as a non-rational state determines the end of action. Recently, Jessica Moss has provided a sustained defense of the non-intellectualist interpretation. I offer three arguments against Moss’s interpretation: (1) the line at 1144a6-7 that is taken to provide an obvious support for the non-intellectualist interpretation does not provide an
obvious support. (2) The non-intellectualist interpretation is inconsistent with the conclusion of Aristotle’s function argument. (3) The non-intellectualist interpretation fails to distinguish between two distinct senses of ‘goal.’ After arguing against the non-intellectualist interpretation, I explore the relation between
phronesis and
eudaimonia.

Preserving phronesis: An enriched account of contemporary challenges to medical practice

▼ Medical practice is constantly challenged by developments in the basic sciences, and their incorporation and application in medical practice. But medical practice also is designed and delivered within a socio-cultural-historical context which is also subject to change. Medicine’s privileging of certain forms of knowledge and its deployment has led to the phenomenon of a ‘medicalised life’ that can increasingly be understood, predicted and managed through the manipulation of a person’s precise biological information, facilitated by the linkage of previously disassociated collections of data pertaining to groups of persons. The critique of medicine as a hegemonic and increasingly technocratic activity arising in past decades has been promoted by developments in information technology that democratise access to health information. For both medical practitioners (physicians) and lay persons alike, the process of datafication of human lives threatens to subordinate the historical grounding of medicine and health care as a practical humanistic activity. It is argued in this thesis that data acquisition and its manipulation – which, when undertaken by physicians is termed ‘clinical reasoning’ – is not, in and of itself, sufficient to define, predict or realise a person’s optimal ‘health’, which requires that a physician makes a clinical judgement about the application of that reasoning. This thesis examines how a physicians’ training, experience and reflective capacity, grounded in moral reasoning and social responsibility, permits their technical knowledge and capacities to be deployed in the interests of patient care, a ‘skill’ or ‘practical wisdom’ that I characterise as a modern conception of Aristotelian phronesis - ‘phronesis 2.0’. The overall aim of this thesis is to identify and examine the evolving contemporary challenges to medical practice that must be understood in order for physicians to respond to these challenges in a manner which respects and furthers the historically grounded ends of medicine. To this end, this thesis argues for the preservation and enrichment of phronesis because phronesis is fundamental to ethical medical practice, because phronesis is able to accommodate and give meaning to advances in science and technology, and because phronesis grounds these forms of techne in a morality of practice that reflects secular humanism. In this thesis I identify and evaluate the historical basis of phronesis in medicine (introduction), contemporary challenges to physicians’ verbal and non-verbal communication, and how communication and its rituals (Part 2) affect the context of the medical encounter, and its attendant and inseparable context and meaning effects (Part 3). In Part 4 I analyse how the medical encounter is influenced by mutable societal movements, including normalised consumerism and neoliberal paradigms of care evident in Western Medicine and how these movements may threaten physician autonomy and compromise phronesis. In Part 5, I analyse how these aspects of medical practice are…

▼ Abstract
The purpose of this research is to increase understanding of discursive practices in organizational change. By approaching organizational change as a social construction, this dissertation examines how discursive practices are involved in organizational change through a qualitative case study.
Current organizational literature demonstrates a discursive turn in which negotiation, interactive meaning creation and tension exploitation through discursive struggles characterize the execution of organizational change. Compared to earlier decades, when change was treated rather mechanistically as a process to be executed in controllable phases, the discursive approach is more capable of examining the social aspects of organizational change in practice. Despite the recent tendency to study change within organizations through the lenses of social constructionism and social constructivism, few scholars have approached discourse directly through practice in the context of organizational change. This study examines aspects that are often taken for granted, such as talk. Discursive practices in organizational change are analysed with a case study method through the practice lens, which views practice as a combination of change practices, change praxis and change practitioners.
The narrative analysis of this research in the context of a public university hospital indicates that discursive practices play a role in organizational change through discourse phronesis, the context-dependent practical wisdom of talk, and more specifically through the discursive practices that apply discourse phronesis. Four examples of discursive practices were identified in the case study: field practices, mandate practices, priority practices and word practices. In addition, the agency of the strategy text in translating change was analysed, with the conclusion that while a strategy text is material in nature, it is also a discursive practice which reflects collective identities and their power positions during and as the result of organizational change. The study also suggests that permanent tensions in an organization can be harnessed for the benefit of change through discourse. The dynamic contradiction between permanent tensions and change in an organization is termed the renewal paradox.
Tiivistelmä
Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena on lisätä ymmärrystä diskursiivisista käytännöistä organisaation muutoksessa. Väitöskirjassa lähestytään organisaation muutosta sosiaalisena konstruktiona ja tutkitaan laadullisen case-tutkimuksen avulla, kuinka diskursiiviset käytännöt liittyvät organisaation muutokseen.
Organisaatiomuutoskirjallisuudessa on tällä hetkellä nähtävissä diskursiivinen vaihe, jossa neuvottelu, vuorovaikutteinen ymmärryksen rakentuminen ja jännitteiden hyödyntäminen keskustelullisten mittelöiden kautta luonnehtivat organisaation muutoksen toimeenpanoa. Verrattuna aiempiin vuosikymmeniin, jolloin muutoksen toteutusta lähestyttiin melko mekaanisesti kontrolloitavien vaiheiden kautta, diskursiivinen lähestymistapa kykenee tutkimaan…

▼ Drawing on the theoretical and technical tools of mathematics, electronics and computer science, cybernetics has established itself as one of the driving forces of the modern world. Automation, which is part of our cybernetic heritage, greatly diversifies the forms of production relationships, and therefore poses new and urgent challenges, as it rapidly reshapes society. On the other hand, it opens unprecedented opportunities for human emancipation. Until now, automation has served mainly the concentration and abuse of economic and political power. It has also been a cause of unemployment and deskilling of workers. Because of its pivotal role in the mass production of goods, automation has contributed to consumerism, and the alienation that follows it. The unleashing of automated systems revolutionary potential, aiming at a state of social well-being, requires the repositioning of human competences, currently challenged by daily technological advances, which materialize into increasingly complex and autonomous devices and systems. Drawing on the study of automation in industrial plants and in aircraft, this work intends to shed some new light on the educational challenges to be met in promoting a more meaningful, sensible and responsible cooperation between people and automatons. Based on Vieira Pintos vision of technology as an emancipating tool and on Paulo Freires vision of education as emancipation, it is purposed that new educational practices are needed in order to form people able to understand, design and operate increasingly effective cybernetic devices, to humankinds advantage. Although human beings cooperate with automatons both in heoretical and in practical matters, only humans are beings of práxis, and as such,intentional, social and committed to one another. It is suggested that the education of fully competent people be achieved through the fostering of three Aristotelian intellectual virtues, namely epistéme (theoretical knowledge), tékhne (know-how) and phrónesis (practical wisdom).
Apoiando-se no instrumental teórico e técnico da matemática, da eletrônica e da computação, a cibernética estabeleceu-se com uma das forças que modelam o mundo contemporâneo. Um dos aspectos da nossa herança cibernética, a automação, ao diversificar substancialmente as formas possíveis das relações de produção, propõe novos e urgentes desafios, na mesma medida em que oferece oportunidades inéditas para a emancipação da humanidade. Até o presente, a automação tem servido sobretudo à concentração e abuso do poder político e econômico. Também tem contribuído para o desemprego e para a desqualificação da dos trabalhadores. Favorecendo a produção em altíssima escala, a automação contribui ainda para a exacerbação do consumismo, e conseqüentemente, da alienação. Nesse contexto, o uso dos sistemas automatizados como força transformadora, a serviço do bem-estar social, requer o reposicionamento das competências humanas, ora desafiadas pelos avanços diários da tecnologia, que se materializa por meio de dispositivos e sistemas…

▼ En esta monografía me pregunto cómo entender el pensamiento crítico teniendo en cuenta el concepto de pensamiento crítico del Critical Thinking Movement (CTM) y el concepto ricoeuriano frónesis. Por lo tanto, esta investigación tiene como primer propósito de examinar el concepto de pensamiento crítico, especialmente el del CTM, para encontrar sus vacios y fundamentos. Posteriormente, se propone una filosofía que podría mejorarlo: la filosofía de Paul Ricoeur, en particular sus conceptos de la razón práctica y Phrónesis. Finalmente, este trabajo propone un nuevo concepto de pensamiento crítico: la frónesis crítica. Se trata de la capacidad, compuesta de capacidades de pensamiento y el espíritu de la persona, para evaluar razones, de acuerdo con el 'ortos logos' en cada situación, con el fin de decidir qué creer y no con miras a una buena vida con y para los demás.

▼ This paper aims to describe and discuss psychotherapy in rhetorical terms; in particular how psychotherapists can use their ethos, or person, as a means for convincing the patient, and subsequently discuss how these insights in turn can be useful for other rhetors.
Classical rhetoric is commonly associated with one speaker exercising influence on an audience of many, but modern rhetoric is broader, and includes all situations where someone is attempting, by speech or in writing, to affect anyone, including the rhetor himself. With this broader definition, psychotherapy may also be considered a form of rhetoric. Psychotherapy does, however, highlight the aspect of power distribution, in that it is clear that it is up to the patient to determine whether the rhetoric will achieve its purpose or not, that is, if he will be influenced by it. In psychotherapy, it is also important to differentiate between persuading and convincing: for a permanent change to occur in the patient’s thoughts and actions, the deeper, "internal" form of conviction is necessary for change to take place.
When attempting to convince an audience, it is important for the speaker to establish a credible ethos, that is, present a trustworthy persona. A psychotherapist can do this in several ways, including demonstrating compassion and empathy; retain an expert role but still be personal when the situation requires; and strike a balance between direct and indirect control of the situation. Creatively explored, these aspects may be fruitful for other rhetors as well.
Denna uppsats syftar till att beskriva och diskutera psykoterapi med hjälp av retoriska begrepp; i synnerhet hur en psykoterapeut kan använda sitt ethos, eller person, som ett medel för att övertyga patienten, och därefter diskutera hur dessa insikter i sin tur kan användas i andra retoriska situationer.
Klassisk retorik förknippas med en talare som utövar påverkan på en månghövdad publik, men den moderna retoriken är bredare, och inbegriper alla tillfällen där någon söker i tal eller skrift påverka någon annan, inklusive sig själv. Med denna bredare definition kan även psykoterapi räknas som en form av retorik. Psykoterapin gör dock maktfördelningen mellan talare och tilltalad extra tydlig, i och med att det är upp till patienten att avgöra om retoriken ska uppnå sitt syfte eller ej, det vill säga om åhöraren ska låta sig påverkas av den. I psykoterapi är det också viktigt att göra skillnad mellan att övertalas och övertygas: för att en beständig förändring ska inträda hos patienten måste den djupare, ”inre” formen av förändring äga rum.
Ett viktigt medel för att övertyga en åhörare är att talaren etablerar ett trovärdigt ethos, det vill säga presenterar en trovärdig personlighet. En psykoterapeut kan göra detta på flera sätt, till exempel genom att visa medkänsla och empati; behålla sin roll som expert men ändå vara personlig när situationen kräver; och skapa en balans mellan direkt och indirekt styrande av den aktuella terapisituationen.…

▼ In the present context of South African education
many learners may be denied access to the modern world, and from
developing as empowered individuals for a world of uncertainty, due
to inadequate schooling. The learners’ poor results in national and
international studies and dysfunctional schools, for example, are
clear evidence of inadequate schooling. If we are to improve
schooling, and hence, the quality of teaching and learning in South
African schools, we need to address the quality of teacher
education that student teachers receive as part of their
professional development. These improvements in schooling will
depend on how student teachers are professionally developed, not to
teach, but to facilitate learning. It is on this basis that I
explore how student teachers construct and use
phronesis to enhance
their professional development. Within this question I explore the
student teachers’ baseline
phronesis when they enter the programme
and how the student teachers utilise the contribution of the mentor
teacher and the specialisation programme to construct and use
phronesis to enhance their professional development. An
interpretive, mixed methods, case study participatory action
research methodology was used to explore these research questions.
The participants in this study were three Postgraduate Certificate
in Education Life Sciences student teachers, the specialisation
lecturer, mentor teacher and the researcher. The context of this
study was in the setting of a radical, innovative teacher education
programme at the University of Pretoria, which focused strongly on
the construction and use of
phronesis. A variety of data collection
instruments, including visual data, personal profile questionnaires
and document analysis were used to collect the data. Ethical and
research rigour issues were attended to and implemented. The
findings are presented in four case study participatory action
research cycles, each having a particular context and purpose. The
descriptive data from each of these cycles was analysed to develop
responses for the research questions. The finding in response to
research question one indicated that the student teachers’ beliefs,
emotions, desire and vision for the type of facilitator that they
wanted to be influenced their perception of a facilitator of
learning. Furthermore, their awareness of the challenges and
constraints that ‘teachers’ experienced when teaching in particular
contexts did not deter them from becoming facilitators of learning.
The mentor teachers’ contributions were: direct with regard to
providing support in designing learning tasks, resources and
assessment feedback. Indirect contributions were in terms of the
student teachers developing the need to generate ideas for
effective practice and to change their beliefs about the role of a
facilitator of learning, and the impact of this role on the
learners’ work ethic and relationships. The contributions of the
specialisation programme were in terms of challenging and changing
student teachers’ beliefs about the role of a…

▼ This dissertation is a reading of Aristotle’s Politics with special attention to his use of the concept phronēsis. It proceeds in three distinct parts: First, the Nicomachean Ethics is mined to establish the understanding and importance of phronēsis. Second, the Politics is read in light of this, reworking the traditional definitions of that which constitutes “healthy” or “sick” regimes. Third, three distinct moments from Aristotle’s ethico-political dialectic are isolated and discussed to examine their rhetorical force: the God Among Men, slavery, and nobility.
The thesis is that Aristotle uses rhetoric in order to present a politically revolutionary doctrine regarding the perfection and completion of the polis as a natural kind. The best polis is revealed as an aristocratic polity wherein the government and citizens rule each other in turn. The aristoi or “best” are chosen by the people on the basis of their possession of phronēsis, as it is described in the Nicomachean Ethics. The logistical structure of government is inconsequential to the criterion of rule by and through phronēsis. All other poleis are shown to be different forms of despotism, whereas this is the sole government that is both possible via human artifice and properly called a “healthy” polis. The ultimately best government, which requires the assistance of nature, is that ruled by an individual whom Aristotle calls the God Among Men, a person who exceeds all others in his possession of philosophical and phronetic ability. The aristocratic polity would recognize the emergence of this individual by willingly ceding power to him, whereas all others would either exile or kill him. The significance of Aristotle’s rhetoric is reinforced by a rereading of his account of slavery in the Politics and that of nobility in On Noble Birth. Both of these are shown to be ad absurdum arguments, proving the invalidity of the institutions rather than their proper or natural implementation.
In this manner Aristotle is allowed to mean what he says, removing the generally accepted impression of the latter two issues as inconsistent or problematic. Rather, when read literally with the Ethics as the constant backdrop, Aristotle’s account remains both consistent and remarkably prescient. As seen in the conclusion, not only does his anatomy of the polis as a natural entity survive scrutiny, it also provides a cipher for examining contemporary ethico-political issues while it predicts a great deal of the future ethico-political history of the West. By misreading Aristotle on these issues, the West has enacted some of the more common and heinous examples of despotism, particularly by biologizing the political in a manner disguised as a remedy for the sake of the many.

On Being Critical: Critical Hermeneutics and the Relevance of the Ancient Notion of Phronesis in Contemporary Moral and Political Thought.

▼ This thesis explores the question of what it means to be a critical being, and how we can cultivate and enact a critical orientation through the ancient Aristotelian notion of
phronesis. I begin by defending the claim that the familiar traditions and methods of rhetoric and hermeneutics have their practical, experiential and critical origins in a fundamental and constitutive human desire to express and understand ourselves and others through the most primary of human capabilities: listening, speaking, interpreting and understanding. This way of describing hermeneutics and rhetoric gives us a sense of their origins in lived experience. It also reminds us that rhetorical expression and hermeneutic understanding are not to be thought of as merely ‘systematized disciplines’, ‘instruments’ or ‘methods’ that we can be indifferent to, but part of our participatory linguistic experience. I argue that once the interpenetrating relation of rhetorical expression and hermeneutic understanding is made apparent, an implicit critical-thinking dimension in experience also becomes visible. This ‘critical dimension’ is not discovered in static theory, procedure or method, but, rather, something that is enacted over time with and among others. It is Aristotle’s concept of
phronesis, and his understanding of insight and practical reasoning that best captures the emergence and enactment of critical thinking-being.
Phronesis is a mode of practical reasoning that is always in motion, always challenging and interrogating the relation between the particular circumstances we find ourselves in, and the historical traditions, general rules, laws or procedures that form our normative background. I allow this argument for a critical hermeneutics through
phronesis to be challenged by Jürgen Habermas’s critical sociological approach. I conclude, firstly, that Habermas’s critical theory relies for its critical thrust on a hermeneutical reflective tradition of immanent critique and insights about communication that can be grasped through phronetic reasoning, tradition and concrete embodied linguistic practices. Secondly, I argue that critical hermeneutics enacted through practical reasoning and
phronesis describes a way of thinking-acting-desiring being that is more congruent with our actual experience, and therefore capable of meeting the personal, occupational, moral and political exigencies of a complex and diverse contemporary world.

▼ Argumentation theory, as a field, has moved over time from the abstractions of formal logic to a growingly direct concern for more pragmatic ways of thinking about matters that it has traditionally taken up (such as reasoning, rules of argument, fallacies, etc.). An overview of this trajectory in which the field has been traveling suggests that language pragmatics will take on an increasing importance. In anticipation of language pragmatics' growing importance, this study reviews it as it relates to current interests in argumentation theory. The pragma-dialectical approach, which has made major contributions to the field of argumentation theory and already pushes toward language pragmatics (along with `conversational argument' work), is explicated and critiqued. The study calls upon argumentation scholars to re-envision their work as becoming less a matter of argumentation theory, and more a matter of `argument pragmatics.' The re-envisioned field of argument pragmatics is tentatively outlined in terms of its general theoretical and methodological posture, its role in describing, explaining, and improving argumentative practice(s), and its theoretical significance with regards to some concerns that are (and have long been) central to argument studies. This discussion is supported and facilitated by use of data samples taken from a specific case of appellate advocacy.

▼ This thesis reports the findings of research conducted with Irish primary teachers who had recently completed probation. The study employed semi-structured interviews to examine the teachers’ perceptions of beneficial influences on the development of their teaching identity. The principals of the two schools involved were also interviewed. The interviews were designed to allow me to explore influences that had been identified in the literature as important in the formation of teacher identity. In the interviews, themes that have been identified in the literature on teacher identity were explored with participants. The teachers identified incidents and persons whom they perceived as having inspired them to become teachers. Their perceptions of how their interactions with pupils and parents had influenced their identities were examined, as were their experiences of school cultures and of working in collaboration with colleagues. Finally, their awareness of theoretical literature as a tool to help their further development was examined. The findings of the study confirm that teachers’ identities are formed by a combination of factors and add a more detailed understanding of those factors in the Irish context. Beginning teachers are influenced strongly by their own biographies, and by their experiences as students prior to and during their pre-service teacher education. They are sensitive to the perceptions of them by parents and pupils. Their willingness to engage collaboratively with other colleagues, including their principals and mentors, features strongly in their own perceptions of how their identities have been formed. The importance of the school culture in helping to shape the teacher’s identity is highlighted as a phenomenon which both shapes and is reshaped in turn by teachers and their colleagues. Literature is generally not considered relevant by the Newly Qualified Teachers (NQTs) in this study, although the principals’ responses indicate their familiarity with themes common in the literature concerning teacher induction, and with concepts of teachers as reflective practitioners who need to continuously examine their practice and experience in order to promote the ongoing shaping of their identity as teachers. The thesis argues for a conception of teacher professionalism which respects the identity of teachers and the agency of teachers as individuals in a world of individuals who are engaged in the constructionist creation of knowledge. This understanding prioritises practical wisdom, phronesis, over the technical knowledge, techne, and knowledge of subject, episteme, which teachers also require. This is at odds with widespread competency-based conceptions of teacher professionalism. The findings of the research indicate that the development of teacher identity is complex and is affected by a broader range of influences than the imperative to develop competencies. It calls for an alternative approach to teacher induction which acknowledges the importance of these factors.

▼ Att lyckas nå fram med sitt budskap är beroende av ett flertal olika faktorer. Till exempel målgruppens förtroende för avsändaren. Hur ska en göra om målgruppen redan innan budskapet förs fram har en skeptisk inställning gentemot avsändaren? Med utgångspunkt i retorikens ethos undersöker jag i denna studie hur en kommunal verksamhet kan använda ethos för att bygga upp sin trovärdighet gentemot sin målgrupp. Genom att ta fasta på verksamhetens kompetens, deras värderingar och välvilja, och lyfta fram dessa i en informationstext om verksamheten, ligger förhoppningen i att målgruppens benägenhet att nyttja verksamhetens tjänster ökar. Till grund för denna studie ligger teorier rörande ethos samt kvalitativa intervjuer med målgrupp, avsändare och sakkunnig.
A succesfully communicated message is dependent on a number of factors. One example of such factor is that the target group have confidence in the sender. What should one do if the target group even before the message is communicated, are sceptic towards the sender? With rhetoric and the ethos as a starting-point in this study, I examine how a public organisation can use ethos to build it’s credibility towards the target group. By focusing on the organisation’s competence, values and good-will and expressing all this in an informative text about the organisation in question, the expectation is that the tendency to use their product and services will increase among the target group. Theories of ethos serve as base for this study, as do qualitative interviews with the target group, the sender and one expert.

▼ Scholars and practitioners increasingly advocate that attention be paid to 'bottomup' grassroots and civil society peacebuilding to ensure legitimacy, relevance and sustainability. Northern Ireland is well positioned to add insights from its own 50- year history of bottom-up efforts. However, despite its length and a substantial financial investment from donors, knowledge from practical peacebuilding has been underutilised. Local practitioners have, instead, been described in academic literature as lacking in strategy and coherence. Seeking to address this gap, this research, using a qualitative inductive approach, investigated what peacebuilders have learned from their 'applied' practice spanning the years 1965-2015. Insights from the research findings were found to echo scholarly debates about knowledge production for peace, such as: "Whose knowledge counts? "What kind of knowledge matters?" Critical peace scholars, identifying a 'technocratic turn' in 'liberal' peacebuilding, argue that it privileges international actors and thematic knowledge over local actors and local knowledge. In Northern Ireland peacebuilding was locally-led; however, tensions associated with professionalisation remain and at times, are viewed to subordinate practical knowledge. This thesis argues that grassroots and civil society peacebuilders hold valid and valuable knowledge but to understand, explain and maximise its use - an epistemological rediscovery is necessary. The Aristotelian term, phronesis (practical wisdom) is adopted as an explanatory frame and conceptualised as a form of nuanced context-knowledge gained by experience. Phronesis was evidenced in the fieldwork data as necessary to lever, lubricate and catalyse social change. As a conceptual frame, its salience for knowledge production was proven by: adding explanatory power; as a source for innovation; and for theory building. Importantly, phronesis also amplifies debates demonstrating why 'local' knowledge is necessary for peacebuilding relevancy. This thesis concludes that evidence demonstrates the importance of the conceptualisation of phronesis for expanding current scholarship on bottom-up, grassroots and civil society peacebuilding in Northern Ireland and internationally.

Rethinking power in participatory planning.

▼ High hopes for democracy and sustainability are placed on participatory planning. Policy makers and scholars argue that broad participation can revitalise democracy and tackle sustainability challenges. Yet, critics claim that power asymmetries stand in the way of realising the potential of participatory planning. In the everyday practices of planning, this controversy comes to a head. Here, planners interact with citizens, politicians and developers around making choices about places and societies. Planners’ practices are contested and they are challenged by the complexity of power relations. They need conceptual tools to critically reflect on what power is and when it is legitimate. Reflective practice is a prerequisite for making situated judgements under conditions of contestation.
Yet, the planning theories, which are most influential in practice, have not been developed with the intention of conceptualising power. Rational planning theory, which still is influential in practice, largely reduces planning into a technical power-free activity. Communicative planning theory, which underpins participatory practices, instead suggests that expert power ought to be complemented by inclusive dialogue. This theory criticises hierarchical power relations as domination, without providing elaborated understanding of other facets of power. Hence, the conceptual support for reflective practice is too reductive.
The aim of this thesis is to rethink power in participatory planning by developing concepts that can enable reflective practice. I draw on power theory and explore the utility of treating power as a family resemblance concept in participatory planning. Applying this plural view, I develop a family of power concepts, which signifies different ideas of what power is. The usefulness of this “power family” is tested through frame analysis of communicative planning theory and Swedish participatory planning policy and practice.
The result of the research is a family of power concepts that can enable reflective practice. ‘Power to’ signifies a dispositional ability to act, which planning actors derive from social order. This ability can be exercised as consensual ‘power with’ or as conflictual ‘power over’. The latter is conceptualised as an empirical process which, on a basic level, can be normatively appraised as illegitimate or legitimate.
This thesis contributes to planning theory and environmental communication by problematising reductive notions of power and, as an alternative, rethinking power as a family resemblance concept. This theoretical contribution matters to planning practice as it can enable planners to develop their ability to be sensitive to what a situation requires, i.e. to acquire practical wisdom (phronesis).

▼ The purpose of this study was to determine if practical wisdom can be recognized as one factor that may be attributed to the success of individuals sitting in the position of superintendent in a school district. Practical wisdom is defined as something developed over time through experiences and knowledge. It guides decision making on moral and practical issues. The changing political climate coupled with increased accountability and the increased rate at which superintendents have been retiring, have created the necessity to identify some factors that contribute to a superintendent’s success. This study provides an assessment of practical wisdom in a single case study analyzed through this research of a female superintendent in a medium sized school district.

▼ Socialarbetare använder sig av flera typer av kunskap för att hantera komplexiteten av deras arbete, en del får man via utbildning men en del behöver förkroppsligas utifrån ett eget utforskande. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur fronesis kommer till uttryck bland socialarbetare som jobbar med ungdomar med missbruksproblematik. Med inspiration från hermeneutik har i denna studie utforskat hur socialarbetare översätter deras tidigare erfarenheter till praxis. Empirin består av sex intervjuer med praktiserande socialarbetare som har flera års erfarenhet i behandlande arbete med ungdomar. Datat analyserades utifrån fronesis teori vilket är uppbyggd ur tre subkategorier: praktisk handling, moralen och personlig utveckling. Fronesis i denna studie är förmågan att anpassa sig till sammanhanget hos en situation och förmågan att handla i enlighet med en målsättning. Resultatet visar att subkategorierna gick att identifiera hos informanternas utsagor samt hade påverkan på varandra. Analysen visar att behandlarens målsättning kunde påverka både arbete samt möjligheter till vidare utveckling.
Social workers use several types of knowledge to get about in their complex work, some of which is given through education but some you have to embody on your own. The aim of this study is to use phronesis as a theory and see if this theory can explain some of the nature behind social workers experience-based knowledge. Using an approach inspired by hermeneutics this study aimed to explore how social workers translate their experience into praxis. The data consists of six interviews with practicing social workers with several years of experience in caring work with adolescents. The material was analyzed with phronesis theory which is built up by three subcategories¨: practical action, morals and personal development. Phronesis in this study is the ability to adapt to the context of the situation and the ability work towards a goal. The results show that the subcategories were identifiable in the data and had an influence on one another. Analysis shows that one’s goals could have effect on work and possibilities for further growth.

▼ In this thesis I argue that what we tend to see in contemporary accounts of human service practice in the relevant literature is a ‘common-sense’ informed by a complex mix of neoliberal political and policy imperatives and various kinds of technical-rational styles of administration and management. These accounts of practice can inadvertently contribute to the problems they are meant to address and can do more harm than good. Common-sense accounts of practice also align with how human services are typically regulated and they align with prevailing ways the education of human services takes place, including in universities. Consequently, the same types of problems that take place with human service practice also take place with the institutionalisation and reproduction of human services. If we are serious about achieving good practice in human services, then we need to think more clearly about what practice in human services is. There is a good case for articulating a theory of human service practice to inspire new and better ways of achieving good practice. The theory of good practice outlined here draws on the philosophy of Aristotle and neo-Aristotelian accounts of practice. It draws especially on Dunne who argues that a theory of practice should offer a defensible account of how we should conceptualise the stuff that human services deal with, and the sorts of knowing, action and ends that best accord with such conceptualisations. I argue that the beings at the centre of human services should be understood as complex, emergent, unpredictable, and ‘wicked’ in the sense that Rittel and Webber talk about. This highlights the possibility that the people, problems and practices of human services can be revealed in multiple and contrary ways. Accordingly, human services hold both promises and dangers for people and good practice is far from self-evident and is highly contestable in each individual case. I argue that phronesis (practical wisdom) is the way of knowing that best corresponds to and is most suited to deal with the uncertain, messy, contingent and context-dependent beings of human services, which require and deserve ongoing deliberations and good determinations on each occasion that are at the same time always tentative and remain open to other suggestions and modification especially because our knowledge may be erroneous and incomplete. I argue that good practice also requires reflexivity and value rationality to help identify and alleviate the problems associated with neoliberal approaches to practice and as an alternative to technical rationality and value neutrality. I make the case for praxis (good action) along with a range of other human activities including value-rational deliberation as the forms of action that best align with and are most appropriate for dealing with the ever-changing, often inexplicable and always difficult beings of human services. Praxis is in accordance with phronesis and can be understood in part as durable practice and in part as…

▼ In a society increasingly characterized by cultural
heterogeneity and where trust issues are becoming ever more
important, new demands and dilemmas arise related to organizations’
strategic communication. This study investigates the struggles of
contemporary organizations to achieve credibility and strengthen
their social legitimacy as actors in Sweden’s multicultural
society. The empirical case concerns the rescue services –
Räddningstjänsten Syd – in southern Sweden, and the trust-building
efforts the organization carries out in residential areas that tend
to be described as “multicultural”. The efforts were a response to
several years of social unrest, hostile treatment and communicative
clashes between firefighters and local residents. The organization
made a strategic shift towards a more proactive and
community-engaged approach. A key group in the preventative and
relationship building activities were the so called fire-hosts, who
were given the role of link-workers. Through their “multicultural
competence”, perceived cultural barriers would be overcome. By
focusing on the rhetorical and communicative aspects of the
trust-building efforts, this study targets the special challenges
created by the multicultural condition. It also tries to determine
those rhetorical/communicative processes which seem to lead to
increased trust and improved relations between the organization and
multicultural communities. The study has a discursive approach to
the concept of culture, highlighting the social consequences caused
by the framing of problems and of the solutions to problems in
cultural terms. The empirical material includes 33 qualitative
interviews, about 30 hours of observation of the rhetorical
practices of the fire-hosts, as well as approximately 25 hours of
film material. Theoretically, mainly rhetorical terminology is
applied to analyze the trust-building communication. The concept of
ethos (appeals based on credibility) is central. Other rhetorical
concepts such as phronesis (practical wisdom), eunoia (goodwill),
copia (stock of possible choices, both content and form), actio
(non-verbal language) and identification (according to Kenneth
Burke’s ideas) are employed. Sociologically coloured concepts, such
as tokenism and strategic essentialism, are also present in the
analysis. The first analytical chapter examines how the
organization has changed its communicative strategies on a more
general level in order to increase social legitimacy. It shows how
the strategies and relationship-building activities correspond in
many respects to a normative ideal within the field of strategic
communication. At the same time it highlights the tensions created
during the process. The role of the fire-hosts as living
organizational brands is problematized, as is the reduced internal
identification of firefighters caused by the organizational shift
towards preventive work. The second analytical chapter examines the
fire-hosts' so-called multicultural competence. It shows that
multicultural competence is construed in two…

O objetivo desta dissertação é analisar a apropriação feita por Martin Heidegger, ao longo dos anos 1920, da obra de Aristóteles. No primeiro capítulo, defende-se que um retorno crítico ao pensamento aristotélico constituía uma necessidade para Heidegger, tendo em vista a sua formação, suas influências intelectuais e seus propósitos filosóficos. No segundo e no terceiro capítulos, temas centrais da interpretação heideggeriana são abordados. Primeiramente, sustenta-se que a verdade, pensada em conexão com Aristóteles e Husserl, possui três sentidos válidos para Heidegger: como propriedade de proposições, como verdade da intuição e como abertura do ser-aí. Os momentos de aproximação e ruptura entre Heidegger e
Aristóteles são destacados, particularmente no que tange à relação íntima entre os fenômenos da verdade e do ser, manifesta na noção de desvelamento. Em seguida, a filosofia prática de Aristóteles é analisada, na medida em que é inserida por Heidegger no contexto do questionamento do ser. A virtude intelectual da prudência sobressai, por ser uma forma de sabedoria acerca da situação contingente da ação. Nas seções finais do terceiro capítulo, algumas críticas à propriedade heideggeriana como uma forma de isolamento contemplativo serão rebatidas e determinadas aproximações conceituais entre motivos da filosofia prática de Aristóteles e da ontologia fundamental de Heidegger serão realizadas. O propósito destas aproximações é revelar que a presença da obra aristotélica em Heidegger ultrapassa as discussões explícitas de seus textos.
This thesis analyzes Heideggers appropriation of the Aristotelian philosophy, in the course of the 1920s. In the first chapter, a critical turn to
Aristotle will be understood as a necessity for Heidegger, given his background, intellectual influences and philosophical projects. The second and third chapters examine central topics of Heideggers interpretation of Aristotle. First, a claim will be made that truth, as it is thought by Heidegger in connection with Aristotle and Husserl, has three valid meanings, namely truth as a property of propositions, intuitive truth and truth as beingtheres openness. Moments of proximity and rupture between Heidegger and Aristotle will be highlighted, particularly regarding the intimate relation between the phenomena of truth and being, present in the notion of unconcealment. Next, the Heideggerian insertion of Aristotles practical philosophy in the questioning of being is analyzed. In this context, the intellectual virtue of prudence stands out, as it is a form of wisdom pertaining to the contingent situation of action. Towards the end of third chapter, criticism presenting authenticity as a
form of contemplative isolation will be rejected and certain parallels between concepts of Aristotles practical philosophy…

▼ In Lesotho, there are no formal opportunities for
professional training of teacher educators. Consequently, the
majority of teacher educators have not received a training that
could equip them with professional knowledge base that is
foundational to any profession. Therefore the question: what are
the sources and application of professional knowledge among teacher
educators appeared justifiable. Arguably, the teacher educators’
professional knowledge is intricately linked to education practice.
Teacher educators have to address the discrepancy between education
policy and practice through the training of student teachers who,
in turn, have to contribute to the quality of the Lesotho education
system. An interpretivist approach was followed in undertaking this
study. Data was collected through: narratives, observations of
teacher educators and analysis of the curriculum and assessment
documents. The unit of analysis was eight teacher educators who are
based at the National University of Lesotho’s Faculty of Education.
Verification of the extent to which the topic was researchable was
through undertaking a pilot study with six teacher educators who
were based in the department of Educational Foundations in the same
faculty. The analysis of the data revealed an immersion in the
teacher educators’ professional landscape provides them ample
opportunities to learn from an array of experiences. They
accumulated experienced-based professional knowledge relevant to
their world of work as they learn to teach, construct, apply and
model it in the context that is uniquely teacher education. They
have learned to teach teachers mainly from existing education
practices which perpetuate what already exists. They face numerous
challenges; their teaching is biased towards conventional teaching
techniques of a transmissive nature and to a less extent
interactive techniques; construction of professional knowledge
remains a complex and challenging undertaking. Opportunities to
construct own teaching research-based knowledge and supervision of
student research are limited. In practice teacher educators have to
rethink their pedagogy. Engaging in research adopting a
“self-study” approach is unavoidable. Research will enhance their
professional development and the quality of the student
teachers.

▼ This study investigates the impact of institutional job requirements upon particular practices and understandings of teaching among select secondary social studies teachers in Alabama. Through in-depth qualitative data analysis, findings from participant interviews, classroom observations, and documents were compared to assess how these requirements affected participants' abilities to engage in teaching as
phronesis. This philosophical concept is translated as "practical wisdom" and is distinguished from episteme, meaning scientific knowledge, and techne, meaning skill. It is argued that
phronesis, with its practical consideration of human values, corresponds to the nature of the social studies content area. However, this study illustrates that institutional job requirements controlled participant teaching practices so that socially valuable aspects of education, in line with
phronesis, were limited to ensure production toward institutional objectives. This study also examines how this relationship differed between urban and rural learning environments and between novice and expert teachers. Finally, this study evaluates the case findings in the context of social studies education and broader issues of contemporary educational policy. (Published By University of Alabama Libraries)

▼ This study examines boundaries and synergies between continuing professional learning contexts of academy, workplace and profession, and considers what factors and approaches of learning contribute to common good in societies. In a review of literature, historical trends in professions and professional learning, concerns of managerialism and performativity, and educational theories of socially constructivism, developmental and ethical learning were considered. A constructivist grounded theory approach was used to collect and analyse data from eighty work-based student documents and from twelve semi-structured interviews with practitioners in four Scottish professions. The findings indicated that learning across contexts was disconnected, creating additional demands for professionals. Increased academic study indicated a more knowledgeable and skilled workforce, with a caveat of market-led credentialism in response to demands for higher qualifications. Professional CPD provided benefits of quality assurance and public safety, but was reported as individualised procedural accountability. Interpersonal communicative action was identified as key to workplace learning, although was afforded less significance than accredited learning in professional and academic contexts. Factors of individualism, accountability and credentialism were noted to have effect on participative workplace learning, which, the study argued, impacted on ethical agency in professions. To address these trends, adaptability, reciprocity and dialogical critical thinking were identified as necessary factors for a continuing professional learning that contributes to common good in societies.

▼ This thesis analyzes specific challenges concerning 'truth-telling' war reporters face when reporting on international conflict. For this purpose truth is examined in accordance with journalistic principles outlined in codes of ethics, with a focus on objectivity and fairness. The aim is to discover ways to improve the application of principles, in order to battle epistemic errors and the effects they entail: polarization, reductionism, and superficiality. The study concludes that providing context and nuance is crucial, but that codes - although essential - are insufficient in helping journalists decide what is relevant and what is not. An approach in virtue ethics is recommended where phronesis (or practical wisdom) can inspire responsible journalists to comply with the spirit, rather than the letter of the principles.
Subjects/Keywords: media ethics; responsible journalism; war reporting; truth; bias; objectivity; fairness; virtue ethics; phronesis; epistemic injustice; polarization; reductionism

▼ The Arctic region is changing. This is an oft-cited statement researcher, policy-makers and the general public say about the Arctic. But who can change the Arctic order? This academic paper is interested in determine Greenland’s role and ‘actorness’ in this changeable region. Adopting an interpretivist approach, I advocate to embrace the narrative turn in IR as a useful move to understand how Greenland, as a sub-state regional entity, can enhance its agency capacity in Arctic affairs. Using phronetical case study, govermentality and narrative analysis as main methodologies, this study decipher how the Arctic governance has changed and been shaped by different narratives and governmental practices. Greenland’s possibilities to exercise more power have been analysed through the lenses of ontological security theory because this theory is intimately related to human agency. However, this theory presents several challenges that must be overcome by doing a revision of the theory. The final results are discusses in a reflexive manner adopting four phronetical value-rational questions that policy-makers should take into account when planning any relevant strategic action, such as Greenland’s visibility and empowerment in Arctic affairs.
