Daniel Schwartz examines the views on friendship of the great medieval philosopher Thomas Aquinas. For Aquinas, friendship is the ideal type of relationship that rational beings should cultivate. Schwartz argues that Aquinas fundamentally revises some of the main features of Aristotle's paradigmatic account of friendship so as to accommodate the case of friendship between radically unequal beings: man and God. As a result, Aquinas presents a broader view of friendship than Aristotle's, allowing for a higher extent of disagreement, lack of mutual understanding, and inequality between friends.
Daniel Schwartz presents and examines the thoughts of the great medieval philosopher Thomas Aquinas on the subject of friendship - the ideal type of relationship that rational beings should cultivate. Using examples from the world of human relationships and politics and highlighting the contemporary relevance of texts that are not readily available to scholars, Schwartz facilitates access to the ideas of this great thinker.
