Review - French Le propos de ce livre est de demander a la pensee ancienne de laprudentiaune theorie complete de la decision. La particularite de cette pensee etait de ne pas separerdecisionetjugement, les deux se disant en latinjudicium. Son enjeu etait de devenir un excellent juge . On apprenait a prendre des decisions en jugeant apres coup celle des autres. La prise de decision etait un saint des saints ou entrer par un lent processus, un cheminement, avec sa rationalite mais aussi sa part mysterieuse de liberte. Le tout initiera a cet autre mystere qu'est la lecture critique, la seule digne d'un juge et d'unekrisis.
