Aristotle is the first philosopher who specifically focuses on phronesis or practical wisdom in detail. He has dealt with it in three areas of essence, elements of phronetic act, and phronesis functions. For Aristotle, phronesis was a moral and intellectual virtue and a prerequisite for the prosperity of every individual and community. In his elaboration of the ontological position of phronesis, Aristotle differentiates it from other intellectual virtues such as episteme, techne, intuitive intellect, and Sophia. He argues that these last three items have to do with theory, while phronesis is about praxis and practice. He also differentiates between phronesis and Techne. Although techne, like phronesis, is about practice, practice in techne is of poiesis and construction nature. Phronesis, on the other hand, is a comprehensive and applied type of knowledge that not only dictates the daily activities, but also utilizes knowledge as a guide and a calculator. Moreover, what is referred to as an action in phronesis encompasses a variety of elements like perceiving the goal, desire, rational deliberation and prohairesis or rational choice. Aristotle also believes that phronesis gives a valuable framework for leading man’s life.

n a paper titled "The difficulties of the book of metaphysics," Amir Maziar argued that Aristotle, in the second book of Metaphysics (beta), described the difficulties that later metaphysics sought to find the answer to these difficulties. They are In this paper, it has been shown that the way that Aristotle has taken for his own philosophy has four steps that addressing the difficulty is the first step in this approach. The four steps of Aristotle's Apurianism are: (1) philosophical distortion (the expression of the difficulty of the subject), (2) the expression of opinions in response to difficulty, (3) the analysis of existing opinions, and (4) the discovery of truth (philosophical calm). Each of these steps has applications and goals that make it different from other methods. Aristotle's method, known as Apuria's method, is different from what has been called "dialectic" since philosophical philosophy, and philosophers such as Socrates and Plato. The first part of this article deals with the methodology of Aristotle, and stated the goals and application of each step of Apuria according to him. Zeta's book is one of the most important books of metaphysics, which expresses Aristotle's philosophical thinking. In this book Aristotle seeks to find the truth of essence In the second part of this article, how to apply Apuria's method in Zeta's book is shown. It has been shown in this section that although the arrangement of some of Zeta's topics and parts of the book is not precise, it is not only the logical order of these inferential arguments, knowing that the order of the sections of this book follows the method of Aristotle's theory. And it is better understood, but it also reduces the difficulty of understanding the topics of this book
