Zustand: Gut. VII, 255 Seiten / p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zusta…nd / very good condition - This is the first comprehensive study of the major philosophical works on friendship. The book gives central place to Aristotles searching examination of friendship and self-love in the Nicomocheon Ethics. Lorraine Smith Pangle argues that the difficulties in this discussion that have long puzzled scholars can be resolved once one understands the complexity of purpose of the Ethics as both a source of practical guidance for life and a profound, unsettling theoretical investigation into human nature. -- The book also offers 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 issues of moral philosophy: Is happiness to be found primarily in self-sufficiency, or in love and friendship with others? Is it possible to love anothertruly forthe others sake or is all human affection rooted ultimately in self-interest? -- Clearly and engagingly written, Aristotle and the Philosophy of Friendship provides a rich and thought-provoking examination into the nature ofhuman selfishness, affection, and devotion.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book offers 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.
