Philosophy Workshop: Aristotle on Friendship
Reeder's Alley Conference Center 101 Reeder's Alley, Helena, MT, United StatesIn this evening's discussion program, we'll explore some of the core concepts in Aristotle's account of friendship. We'll consider why one might pursue friendship, the role of ethical character, and what sorts of things help friendship flourish. We'll also ask whether friendship can arise only among equals, or whether it's possible for people of very different status to be friends as well (e.g., what it would take for genuine friendship to exist amidst such disparities of power, authority, or other human differences?).
