ARISTOTEL - FILOSOFIJA NA MNOGO NAČINA/ARISTOTLE - PHILOSOPHY IN MANY WAYS

Abstract

Aristotle is our most important ancient source and authority for determining the concept of philosophy. Aristotle provides much more evidence than any other existing ancient source when it comes to defining the concept of philosophy. Although much has been written in the last two centuries about the objectivity of Aristotle's insights into philosophies, especially of the presocratic philosophers, its authenticity in terms of the history of philosophy is incommensurable in relation to all other authors. Philosophy is said in many ways, but it is achieved in only one way through methodical, systematic and hard work, according to Aristotle. Friendship is essentially connected with philosophy, it is so close and inseparable that it is present in its very term. The topic of friendship (φιλία) is crucial to understanding Aristotle’s theory.
