SELLES, Juan Fernando. Education in Friendship: A Conceptual Approach. educ.educ. [online]. 2008, vol.11, n.1, pp.145-166. ISSN 0123-1294.
This study looks at method, topic and education with respect to the supreme human virtue: friendship. It begins with a review of the fundamental theories put forth by the prominent thinkers in the history of philosophy. Secondly, it indicates the appropriate cognitive method for the study of friendship is not rational, but akin to that of an innate habit (synderesis or the ego). Some of the non-ethical implications of this approach are outlined. The requirements for friendship in its two most important environments (family and education) are discussed, and the author offers a thesis on how to educate students in this virtue.
