Isi artikel

Contemporary discussions of friendship typically focus on the value of friendship: the duties which friendship imposes, the motivations proper to acts of friendship, and the ways in which these pose a challenge to impartialist ethical theory. What has not received so much attention is the nature of friendship itself. Yet a plausible account of the nature of friendship would seem not only helpful but necessary to ground and offer direction to discussions about the value of friendship. Though ‘friendship’ is an elastic term, that is ordinarily applied to relationships of varying levels of intimacy, philosophical interest has centered on those intimate friendships which feature reciprocal deep affection, well-wishing, and the desire for shared experiences.’ In this article we undertake an exploration of the nature of such friendships and, through a consideration of two significant and familiar views, arrive at a new account of the nature of close or companion friendships. We believe this account does help to explain why friendship is valuable and provides direction for future characterization of its value.
