Question

Think of a quality friendship that you have. Why do you have this strong friendship, and how did it develop? Do you think Aristotle would describe your relationship as the third type of friendship? Why or why not?

Answer 1

A description of a strong friendship in connection to Aristotle's three types of friendship is exemplified in the following manner:

• My strongest friendship began by chance when we were classmates at a language institute.

• We began to admire each other after a class where we expressed our opinions on different topics.

• Even if we don't agree in everything, we respect each other's point of view and opinion. We admire each other's knowledge and life experiences.

• We do not need to talk every day. Whenever we do talk, it feels as if no time has passed, since our feelings and admiration never change.

• I think Aristotle would describe our relationship as the third type of friendship.

• We are not friends because we want something from the other or just because we enjoy the other's company.

• We are friends because we respect, love, and admire each other's character. We wish only good things for each other.

- Greek philosopher Aristotle described three types of friendship. They are based on: utility, pleasure, and virtue.

- Friendship of utility means you are friends with someone because of what that person can give you or do for you.

- Friendship of pleasure means you are friends with someone because you enjoy their company. It often involves doing an activity together, such as playing a sport.

- Finally, friendship of virtue means you do not want anything from the other person. You are friends because you admire each other's character and you wish only the best for each other.
