Comparative analysis of the virtue of wisdom proposed by positive psychology in relation to the Aristotelian proposal.

Abstract

In terms of transdisciplinarity, the contrast between Seligman's positive psychology and
Aristotle's theory of virtues will be confronted, since both tend to rescue the central nucleus
of the formation of the human being, which are the virtues or strengths of human capital.
The confluence that this contemporary theory has with the Aristotelian eudemonist vision
will be approached via a comparative hermeneutic, since the summation of virtues
understood as second nature –built by good habits– is an original contribution of the Greek
philosopher. Noticing this confluent meeting or convergent edge from an analytical point of
view, as a common denominator in both theories, allows us to make a connection of
historicity that is often eluded in contemporary thought due to ignorance.
