Confronted with a moral dilemma, a phronetic robot is one that navigates in this situation to a decision (and corresponding action) on the basis of /phronesis/ --- that is, on the basis of a form of wise, practical reasoning that, at its heart, is holistic, affective, balanced, and creative. So, can phronetic robots be engineered by computational logicians? Obviously the question, given only the foregoing, is premature, for the stark reason that such engineering requires, by definition, logico-mathematical formalization, and the h-a-b-c list is patently /in/formal. Turning to Aristotle and Kant, both of whom can be viewed as giving a version of /phronesis/ in line with the h-a-b-c skeleton, and to my own Leibnizian account, I venture initial formalization sufficient to enable a two-part answer to the driving question: viz., "(1) No. (2) But, a /zombie/ phronetic robot /can/ beengineered, in fact right in my lab, as the following videos show."
