Synopsis "Sobre la Amistad (in Spanish)"

Aristóteles dejó numerosos escritos de los cuales una tercera parte se extravío, pero todavía quedan muchos que son muy importantes en la actualidad. La Ética Nicomaquea, por ejemplo, trata sobre la felicidad del hombre, en que radica y de que manera se puede alcanzar. Está formado, a su vez, por diez libros, de los cuales se presentan en este volumen dos: el VIII y el IX, que hablan sobre la amistad. El propósito de este tomo es exponer los conceptos que Aristóteles dio a conocer sobre este universal concepto, donde lo define como uno de los valores morales fundamentales del hombre, pues lo considera lo más importante en la vida. Para Aristóteles: la amistad más duradera es la fundada en la virtud y como la persona que hace el bien ama más que quien lo recibe.

Aristotle (Stagira, 384 BC-Chalcis, 322 BC) was a philosopher, polymath, and Greek scientist born in the city of Stagira, in the north of Ancient Greece. He is considered, along with Plato, the father of Western philosophy. His ideas have had a huge influence on the intellectual history of the West for more than two millennia.

He was a disciple of Plato and other thinkers, such as Eudoxus of Cnidus, during the twenty years he was at the Academy of Athens. Shortly after Plato's death, Aristotle left Athens to be the tutor of Alexander the Great in the Kingdom of Macedonia for almost 5 years. In the last stage of his life, he founded the Lyceum in Athens, where he taught until a year before his death.

Aristotle wrote about 200 works, of which only 31 have been preserved (none of them intended for publication) in the Corpus Aristotelicum on a wide variety of topics, including: logic, metaphysics, philosophy of science, ethics, political philosophy, aesthetics, rhetoric, physics, astronomy, and biology. Aristotle transformed many, if not all, of the areas of knowledge he addressed. He is recognized as the founding father of logic and biology, since although there are reflections and writings on both subjects before him, it is in Aristotle's work that the first systematic investigations are found. Aristotle has also been called the father of political science, zoology, embryology, natural law, scientific method, rhetoric, psychology, realism, criticism, individualism, teleology, and meteorology.
