Sumario:This work aims to compare the concepts of happiness and prudence as well as to analyze some critical counterpoints, respectively, in Aristotle and Kant. Initially, we present the Aristotelian conception of happiness (eudaimonia) as rational contemplation, relating it to prudence (phronesis), which is understood as the virtue of deliberate well about what is good. Following, the Kantian concepts of happiness and prudence (klugheit) are analysed, exposing the radical separation between morality and happiness, understood as an activity that aims the satisfaction of the inclinations and the subjective welfare. Finally, one tries to compare such conceptions, emphasizing that the Kantian criticisms of eudaimonism do not directly affect the Aristotelian ethics, because the way the modern philosopher understood the concept of happiness does not represent the position defended by the Stagirite.
