Abstract

For Aristotle, friendship is the act of necessary mutual love that constitutes, with its three levels, the cement of the “polis,” the political community, and the “city.” It can be studied according to Aristotelian categories themselves as well as to the theory of matter and form, potency, and act. This paper, after analyzing what friendship is as an act of love, applies such Aristotelian theories to the understanding of friendship.
