Abstract This paper pretends to examine the Ricoeur's notion of Phrónesis, from the point of view of an individual ethics, aiming to show that it is much more than just a kind of mediation for moral conflicts. The place and role of this phrónesis in at every level (teleological, deontological and prudencial) of Ricoeur's «small ethics» will be examined. In doing so, a dialectic between the desire and the rule will be exposed, as well as the relation between ipseity and alterity both according to the concept of phrónesis.

Keywords : Phrónesis; alterity; norm; desire; conflict.
