Virtue in Virtue Friendship: “Choosing Virtuous Actions for Their Own Sake Sample Clauses

Virtue in Virtue Friendship: “Choosing Virtuous Actions for Their Own Sake. It is evident that, unlike those of utility and pleasure, virtue friendships are unique since they are based on a degree of shared virtue between the agents. To summarize, friendships of utility are for the more commercially minded and those who seek some instrumental good, while pleasure friendships occur between those who seek seemingly pleasant goods, such as humor and wit. Virtue friendships, however, are based on a sense of shared knowledge of the excellence of the self and of the “other self” within the friendship. Particularly, virtue friendships: “…happen between people who are good and alike in excellence, because these wish well alike to each other qua good and they are good in themselves” (NE 1156b9). Here, Xxxxxxxxx stresses that the virtue friends are good and alike in excellence, are good in themselves, and possess some sort of inherent merit and virtue that goes beyond just being useful or pleasant to one other. Additionally, Xxxxxxxxxxxx friendships of character are based on a “resemblance” of goodness between the friends, which Xxxxxxxxx highlights when he claims that “all the[se] qualities…belong in virtue of the nature of the friends themselves” (NE 1156b13; NE 1156b22-23). According to Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx, moreover, it is not necessary to be perfectly good or virtuous in order to have the friendship of character, which makes “good friendship…more common that one might have thought” (Xxxxxxxxxxx, 1994, p.73). However, it is important to recognize and be motivated by not only intent, but by the choice, to see and treat the friend as “another self.” This is highlighted when Xxxxxxxxxxx (1994) claims that “we thus see…and maintain good personal friendships because we find the happiness of other people to be choiceworthy” (p.73). This concept of choice, then, applies to not only the virtuous agent-- who chooses virtuous actions for the sake of being good-- but to the virtuous friend who chooses to love and treat the friend as another self for the sake of the goodness, and viability, of the friendship.
