Friendship is an everyday reality, a theoretical concept and a historical
category.  The object of the lecture is to pinpoint the origin of the
concept in Aristotle's philosophy, to trace the main stages of its
development in the history of the Western tradition, and to highlight the
moral values that it entails.



*Suzanne Stern-Gillet* is Professor of Ancient Philosophy at the University
of Bolton and Honorary Research Fellow in the Department of Classics and
Ancient History at the University of Manchester.



She is the author of Aristotle's Philosophy of Friendship and of sixty
articles on ethics and moral psychology.  She has co-edited with Kevin
Corrigan a two-volume collection on Reading Ancient Texts and with Gary
Gurtler a collection on Ancient and Medieval Concepts of Friendship.  She
is currently at work on a monograph on Plato's Ion for Cambridge University
Press and is preparing a translation and commentary on Plotinus' tractate
On the Virtues (I.2 [19]) for Parmenides Publishing.


 *Rajeev Bhargava *is Professor at the Centre for the Study of Developing
