Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: I argue that Aristotle’s Poetics is suggestive of a theory of “public practical wisdom” capable of serving as a strong but flexible foundation for democratic citizenship. First, I frame the argument within contemporary “historicist” and “naturalist” approaches to Aristotle’s political thought. Next, I defend a version of naturalist Aristotelianism, beginning with an account of the tragic emotions and their positive ethical value in Aristotle’s ethical and political thought. Finally, I argue for a two-stage theory of Aristotelian deliberation, building from the broadest sense of deliberation as “deliberateness” up to a stronger “public” sense of deliberation. I argue that these two stages of deliberation together amount to an ethos of “public practical wisdom” capable of providing non-arbitrary external standards by which to assess the quality of democratic deliberation, and at the same time flexible enough to allow for action.
