In this lecture/discussion section from my Fall 2013 Introduction to Philosophy class at Marist college, we continue the class theme of Love, Friendship, and Desire by focusing on one of the classic texts addressing those matters, the books of the Nicomachean Ethics focused specifically on the types, the nature, components, and disputed topics bearing on Friendship. Towards the end, we explore unequal friendships and discuss the problematics of "equalization" within them
