Ancient Greeks Turned Friendship Into a Science
GreekReporter highlights how ancient Greek thinkers approached friendship as a subject of systematic study rather than mere sentiment. Philosophers such as Aristotle treated philia, or deep friendship, as essential to a flourishing life, classifying its forms and analysing its moral role. The article suggests their ideas remain relevant to modern debates on wellbeing and social connection.
Why now: Ongoing public interest in ancient philosophy applied to modern wellbeing and loneliness.
