Abstract
The present thesis work investigates the issue of the infused prudence virtue in
the Saint Thomas Aquinas’ Treaty of Prudence. The main question to answer is
how author of Summa Theologiae affirms in the Treaty of Virtues the virtue of
infused practical wisdom and in dealing with prudence abandons this concept.
The research seeks to show like virtue can be produced in the human being,
according to the thought of Thomas Aquinas, and, using the historical context in
which the author lives, the chronology of his works and the thesis sustained by
Alasdair MacIntyre, demonstrates that the concept of infused prudence is
abandoned due to a dominant Aristotelian influence present in De Prudentia.
