Compuesto por los libros octavo y noveno de la �tica a Nic�maco, este tratado, de gran amenidad y f�rtil en valiosos consejos, propone una meditada teor�a de la amistad. Tras enunciar una clasificaci�n de los distintos tipos de amistad, Arist�teles afirma con rotundidad que la m�s deseable y s�lida es la que existe entre hombres virtuosos, porque se desean mutuamente el bien .

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A beautiful and invaluable treatise on friendship that reveals its full significance.
"Friends are the only asylum where we can take refuge in misery and in reversals of every kind."
This volume contains some of the most accurate and beautiful reflections ever written on friendship. This precious source of happiness and consolation that binds people together is, in Aristotle's words, "one of the most pressing needs of life."
Comprised of Books Eight and Nine of the Nicomachean Ethics, this treatise, both highly readable and rich in valuable counsel, proposes a considered theory of friendship. After laying out a classification of different kinds of friendship, Aristotle asserts emphatically that the most desirable and enduring is that which exists among virtuous people, "because they wish the good for one another".
More than 2,300 years after it was written, the relevance and instructive value of this classic only seem to grow.
Aristóteles: - "Aristóteles (Grecia, 384 a.C. - 322 a.C.) fue uno de los filósofos más destacados junto con Sócrates y Platón. A los 17 años se trasladó a Atenas para estudiar en la Academia, donde fue alumno y maestro. Fue principalmente discípulo de Platón y profesor de Alejandro Magno en el reino de Macedonia. Años más tarde, creó su propia escuela: el Liceo. Sabemos que la obra de Aristóteles la forman unos 200 tratados, de los que sólo se conservan 31, que examinan una gran variedad de temas: lógica, metafísica, ética, política, estética, retórica, astronomía y biología. Por ello, Aristóteles significa en muchos aspectos el inicio, la innovación y los cimientos de grandes ideas del mundo occidental.
Aristotle (Greece, 384 BC - 322 BC) was one of the most prominent philosophers along with Socrates and Plato. At the age of 17, he moved to Athens to study at the Academy, where he was both student and teacher. He was mainly a disciple of Plato and tutor of Alexander the Great in the kingdom of Macedonia. Years later, he founded his own school: the Lyceum. We know that Aristotle's work consists of about 200 treatises, of which only 31 survive, examining a wide variety of subjects: logic, metaphysics, ethics, politics, aesthetics, rhetoric, astronomy, and biology. For this reason, Aristotle represents in many respects the beginning, the innovation, and the foundations of great ideas of the Western world.
