Friendship for Virtue pursues four primary objectives. The first is to accord the virtue of friendship the rightful prominence it deserves within contemporary virtue ethics, inspired by Aristotle's teachings. The second aim is to harmonize Aristotelian theory with recent social scientific research on friendship, engaging in mutual adjustments to enhance our understanding. The third objective is to reclaim Aristotelian friendship as a moral educational concept, emphasizing its role in fostering virtue development. The fourth objective is to provide a more comprehensive and realistic account than Aristotle did of the potential staleness and dissolution of even the finest friendships, as well as the fragility of the human relationships they represent, particularly in situations where erotic love and friendship collide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 524g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 163 x 242 x 23 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780192864260\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KristjanKristjansson","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44100527522042,"sku":"9780192864260","price":85.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1664552324066_book.jpg?v=1664624743","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/friendship-for-virtue-9780192864260","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
