Phronesis (journal)

Phronesis is a peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to the study of ancient Greek and Roman philosophy. It publishes original research articles and book reviews covering a broad range of topics within classical philosophy, including metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, politics, and logic, spanning from the Presocratics to late antiquity.

The journal aims to promote rigorous and historically informed scholarship, and it is known for its commitment to philosophical analysis and argumentation. Phronesis is typically regarded as one of the leading journals in the field of classical philosophy.

It is published quarterly by Brill, a scholarly publishing house specializing in humanities and social sciences. The journal's name, Phronesis, derives from the ancient Greek word φρόνησις, often translated as "practical wisdom" or "prudence." This concept was particularly important in the ethical and political philosophy of Aristotle.
