Dialogue 2
On this module, we discovered in regards to the
rarity of what Aristotle calls âsoul friendshipâ or what Emerson calls âdivineâ
friendship. Most philosophers concur that cultivating such a friendship
requires an openness to it, an consciousness that it’s going to unlikely happen, and a
stringent honesty and affection.
In a minimum of 250 phrases whole, please
reply every of the next, drawing upon your studying supplies and your
private perception:
If âsoul friendshipsâ characterize
our highest attainment of friendship and require nice honesty and pure
love, what could be our moral obligation to aim to nurture such
friendships?
Analyze, drawing upon examples
from your individual life, whether or not such friendships are attainable and clarify some
of the moral concerns that accompany them.
