Summary/Abstract: In this article we will try todemonstrate that, although parrhêsia is not directly defined as a virtue, from theoccurrences found in Aristotle's texts one might argue that it is an ethical and politicalvirtue; but, one that takes into account the realization of the good of the city or of thefriend. In this sense, the parrhesiast must take into account those addressed to them, tohave a fair measure in the use of frank, sincere speech.
