abstract = {We aim to map out the points of confuence between phronesis and emotion, as well as the nature of this confuence. We
do so based on philosophical and psychological explanations of emotions and phronesis. Making sound decisions, which
requires phronesis, is an important matter, but its relationship with emotions has only just begun to be studied. We propose
that the interplay between phronesis and emotion is possible (rather than inevitable) because both have a cognitive-behavioural structure and because emotions are hierarchical. In the case of emotion, there are no gaps between the cognitive and
behavioural dimensions, while phronetic acts can only manifest if cognitive and behavioural aspects are activated simultaneously. The confuence we identify is bidirectional and involves mutual enrichment in this dual dimension. On the one hand,
phronesis enriches emotion because it involves extra subjective knowledge and allows emotion to be directed towards higher
goals. On the other hand, emotions enrich phronesis because phronesis makes decisions based on sensitive preferences and
because emotions confrm correctness in the context of moral decision making. Methodologically, this study is theoretical
and interdisciplinary, as our approach is both philosophical and psychological. Philosophy helps us to improve the conceptual foundation of the construct, while psychology provides an analysis of the emotional process, allowing philosophy to
understand how emotional evaluation-assessment and motivation lead to decision making.},
