Resumen

Aristotelian wisdom is understood as the intellectual virtue that, as it is simultaneously science and intellect, acknowledges the principles and the causes of the things that must be useful for oneself. Therefore for Aristotle a wise person is the one who knows everything as much as possible, possessing the science of the universe in a maximum degree. Aristotle tells us about the way we must interpret prudence and wisdom, by saying that they are both different, but mutually complementary. This reflection, in short, is the one approached by this article, by going into detail about the theory of the Aristotelian virtues and the "supreme" virtue among them, which is wisdom (as it is regarded by Aristotle) and its influence on researchers that conduct experiments on animals, given the fact that those researchers must observe universal ethical principles to develop their research works.
