Love in Virtue Friendship Sample Clauses

Love in Virtue Friendship. “Loving the Friend for His Own Sake” In discussing love within friendships, Xxxxxxxxx claims that the agents’ own nature and “state” determines the degree of love and whether the friendship is that of character, of utility, or of pleasure: “…if love were a passion, friendship a state, for love may be felt just as much towards lifeless things, but mutual love involves love and choice springs from a state; and [people] wish well to those whom they love, for their sake, not as a result/ of passion but as a result of the state. And in loving a friend, [people] love what is good for themselves; for the good [person] in becoming a friend becomes a good to his friend.

Furthermore, in distinguishing virtue friends from those of utility and character, with regard to love, Xxxxxxxxx highlights differences between, the “object of love” in the three types of friendship (NE 1155b17). Such an “object of love” may be understood as the primary motivator for the pursuit of the friendship. Within the (superficial) friendships of pleasure and utility, the “object[s] of love” include the external results and goods that the agents gain from each other during the friendship, for example, the material and social capital4 from a politically useful partnership, or the laughter derived from the witty banter within a friendship of pleasure.
