This is the first book to offer a comprehensive account of the
major philosophical works on friendship and its relationship to
self-love. The book gives central place to Aristotle's searching
examination of friendship in the Nicomachean Ethics. Lorraine
Pangle argues that the difficulties surrounding this discussion are
soon dispelled once one understands the purpose of the Ethics as
both a source of practical guidance for life and a profound,
theoretical investigation into human nature. The book also provides
fresh interpretations of works on friendship by Plato, Cicero,
Epicurus, Seneca, Montaigne and Bacon. The author shows how each of
these thinkers sheds light on central questions of moral
philosophy: is human sociability rooted in neediness or strength?
is the best life chiefly solitary, or dedicated to a community with
others? Clearly structured and engagingly written, this book will
appeal to a broad swathe of readers across philosophy, classics and
political science.
