Coverr design by Ernst Dobber. The cover shows a detail from Ambrogio Lorenzetti's Allegory of the Good Government,, frescoed on the side walls of the Council Room of the City Hall o f Siena (Italy). The enthroned mann embodies the Good Government. The stately female figure on his left side represents Prudence, embody-ingg the practical wisdom indispensable for good governance. On her side, the virtues Peace and Fortitude are depicted. .
[Practicall wisdom cannot be scientific knowledge nor art;; not science because that which can be done is capablee of being otherwise, not art because action and makingg are different kinds of thing. The remaining alternative,, then, is thatt it is a true and reasoned state off capacity to act with regard to the things that are good orr bad for man.
(Aristotle,(Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics, book VI, Practical wisdom-knowledgeknowledge of how to secure the ends of human life; trans. W.W. D. Ross)
