Resumo: The controversy about the legitimacy of relationships for pleasure and for utility as genuine kinds of friendships in the Nicomachean Ethics (NE) is here studied, with a discussion about Aristotle’s usage of the expression “wishing him good” (ἐκείνου ἕνεκα): (i) a self-centered wishing good to another, in the sense that X does something to Y for the sake of X herself/himself or (ii) a wishing good to another for her/his own sake, in the sense that X does something to Y for the sake of Y herself/himself. We take our stand on “ii”, where “wishing good” means wishing good to another for her/his own sake. Still, we defend the view that only friendship between virtuous people can be properly considered friendship in the NE.

Defende-se a posição “ii” em que a benevolência carrega o sentido de ser um querer o bem do outro pelo outro. Além disso, defende-se que apenas a amizade entre virtuosos pode ser considerada propriamente amizade na EN.Revista HypnosHypnos Journal2023-10-20info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://hypnos.org.br/index.php/hypnos/article/view/681Revista Hypnos; n. 51 (2023); 222-240Hypnos Journal; No. 51 (2023); 222-2402177-53461413-9138reponame:Hypnosinstname:Faculdade de São Bento (FSB)instacron:FSBporhttps://hypnos.org.br/index.php/hypnos/article/view/681/648Copyright (c) 2023 Revista Hypnoshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessStefani, JaquelineCarvalho, Wallace da Silva2023-10-20T14:25:49Zoai:ojs.hypnos.org.br:article/681Revistahttps://hypnos.org.br/index.php/hypnosPRIhttps://hypnos.org.br/index.php/hypnos/oairachelgazolla@gmail.com2177-53461413-9138opendoar:2023-10-20T14:25:49Hypnos - Faculdade de São Bento (FSB)false
