Importance of Different Kinds of Friendship // Episode 188

A Word from Our Outpost, with Joseph and Crystal Gruber

Aristotle writes about three different kinds of friendship in the Nicomachean Ethics. It's not uncommon to hear talks about friendship, and how of the three kinds, the best/truest kind of friendship needs to be focused on. We even have some episodes about that very thing.

But what Joseph noticed recently is that we're suffering not just from a lack of virtuous/true friends. We're suffering, too, from a singular lack of all three kinds of friends. In our overly-technologized society, where we'd rather watch other people have pleasant lives than do so ourselves, we actually need a return of the useful and the pleasant friendships, too.
