Book Synopsis
Un hermoso y valiosísimo tratado acerca de la amistad que revela toda su trascendencia.
«Los amigos son el único asilo donde podemos refugiarnos en la miseria y en los reveses de todo género.»
El presente volumen contiene algunas de las consideraciones más certeras y bellas que se han escrito sobre la amistad. Esta preciada fuente de felicidad y consuelo que une a las personas es, en palabras de Aristóteles, «una de las necesidades más apremiantes de la vida».
Compuesto por los libros octavo y noveno de la Ética a Nicómaco, este tratado, de gran amenidad y fértil en valiosos consejos, propone una meditada teoría de la amistad. Tras enunciar una clasificación de los distintos tipos de amistad, Aristóteles afirma con rotundidad que la más deseable y sólida es la que existe entre hombres virtuosos, «porque se desean mutuamente el bien».
Pasados más de 2.300 años de su escritura, pareciera que la vigencia y el valor instructivo de este clásico no dejan de crecer.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A beautiful and invaluable treatise on friendship that reveals its full significance.
"Friends are the only asylum where we can take refuge in misery and in reversals of every kind."
This volume contains some of the most accurate and beautiful reflections ever written on friendship. This precious source of happiness and consolation that binds people together is, in Aristotle's words, "one of the most pressing needs of life."
Comprised of Books Eight and Nine of the Nicomachean Ethics, this treatise, both highly readable and rich in valuable counsel, proposes a considered theory of friendship. After laying out a classification of different kinds of friendship, Aristotle asserts emphatically that the most desirable and enduring is that which exists among virtuous people, "because they wish the good for one another".
More than 2,300 years after it was written, the relevance and instructive value of this classic only seem to grow.
