This work, entitled Prudence of History: Rhetoric Tradition and Aporiae of Modernity, presents an investigation about the elements that rhetoric tradition and practical wisdom (phronesis) associated to it provide to the form of specific knowledge of humanities (or, as it has been called: human science ). At first (chapter 1), we will present an analysis about the process of marginalization suffered by this tradition, in the modernity, at the moment that the method of natural sciences was erected and also when there was an expropriation of traditional experience (this experience means common sense and the limits of human action). Secondly (chapter 2), we will analyze the consequences of this marginalization taking the crises between the categories of time experience as a reference point. Finally (Chapter 3), we will approach the phenomenon of the resumption of rhetoric tradition in the 20th century, aiming to show how this resumption constitutes an effort to the evasion of the phenomenon that we called (based on Koselleck and Ivan Domingues theses) as Aporiae of Modernity , that is: the neutralization of the (present) action in the practical life, which is caused by the (1) rigidities of the past and tradition, and by the (2) belief in a perfectibilist and always deferrable future.
