Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the question of the practical deliberation according to Thomas Aquinas. The conscience as the cognitive act of principle knowledge’s application to particular action is completed by the concept of prudence. Prudence is the virtue which acquirement helps man to learn from the past experience and to have a vision of the future in deliberating about the present. Thanks to the reciprocity of conscience and prudence the man is advancing on the way of moral certitude, which, although unrealisable in the condition of present life, still has to exist like a project, to which one can never resign.
