Abstract

The purpose of our writing is to recover two fundamental concepts of the Nicomachean Ethics, we refer to friendship (ϕιλία) and justice (δικαιοσύνη), through a comment that emphasizes the level of similarity that, for Aristotle, they keep these two virtues in the order of the best possible life —ethical/political— to which the human being can aspire. Our approach focuses on the use of constituted language in the context of the Stagirite's moral treatise.
