Abstract
(en) The purpose of this paper is to examine the peculiarity of what was named by Aristotle as practical wisdom or pratical knowledge. Pivot to our analysis is the first thesis on Nichomachean Ethics, where the philosopher appears to state a phallacy when he argues that, given that all actions aim at some good, good is that which every action aims to. We argue that the inference is non-fallacious because of the pecualirity of the practical domain, which manifests itself in the identity of good and end. This identity is in the origin of what we would call, as an hypothesis, practical significance.
