This article is to study the relation between applied humanities and phronesis. The methodology is conceptual analysis, so in the first place, by providing the definition of application and praxis, the concepts of applied humanities and social sciences, and phronesis are analyzed. In this regard, a variety of Muslim philosophers' thoughts about phronesis are categorized and compared with Aristotle's Concept of phronesis. Then the concepts of applied Social sciences and phronesis are compared from different aspects. Regarding the technological nature of applied humanities and social sciences in one hand, and the virtuous nature of phronesis in another hand, at last this question is argued whether it is logically possible that phronesis uses pure theories of humanities and social sciences instead of Sophia and episteme to order to produce virtuous social Sciences.
