Summary

This book presents a thorough and systematic integration of Aristotle's analysis of friendship with the main lines of the rest of his work in Politics and Nicomachean Ethics. The author conveys a clear sense of the continuing illumination that Aristotle's analysis of friendship provides to contemporary ethical theorists and to students of Aristotle. Other Selves speaks to both audiences.

Paul Schollmeier is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and is the Director of the Goodsprings Philosophical Institute.
