Relying on Aristotle's concept of prudence, she uses a phronetic perspective to develop three "regimes of pity" that offer spectators different qualities of emotional and practical engagement with the distant sufferer. These are exemplified by several lengthy expositions of work Flyvbjerg considers admirably phronetic, but which exemplars are perhaps better read in extenso. In that respect, phronetic social science accepts the need to be confronted with meaning and subjectivity, but also -- and in that Flyvbjerg is forced to go beyond Aristotle --, to be articulated to considerations concerning power. |
