FRANCO, Tulio Alexander Benavides. Eros, Philia and community in Plato and Aristotle. Eidos [online]. 2019, n.30, pp.14-47. ISSN 1692-8857. https://doi.org/10.14482/eidos.30.184.
Both in Plato and Aristotle, eros is questioned as a form of relationship with the other that brings us to a virtuous life and enable us to think about life in community. In Plato’s view, such a questioning would be in favor of a search for the Beauty that would offer a particular model of philia −that of philo-sofia−. In Aristotle’s view, the questioning of eros by individuals would be in favor of a model of philia −the virtuous philia− virtually restricted to an ideal level −because it is rare to find virtuous men−. In both cases, however, the way philia is being thought would, in a sense, provide an ideal model of community.
