Review from previous edition a most impressive and unquestionably significant contribution not only to the recent philosophical and theological literature on friendship, but also to scholarship on Aquinas.

Modern Theology

a penetrating study

Times Literary Supplement

Schwartz's eight concise chapters are among the most refreshing and original studies of Aquinas in recent years

Bryn Mawr Classical Review

Daniel Schwartz examines the views on friendship of the great medieval philosopher Thomas Aquinas. For Aquinas friendship is the ideal type of relationship that rational beings should cultivate. Schwartz argues that Aquinas fundamentally revises some of the main features of Aristotle's paradigmatic account of friendship so as to accommodate the case of friendship between radically unequal beings: man and God. As a result, Aquinas presents a broader view of friendship than Aristotle's, allowing for a higher extent of disagreement. lack of mutual understanding, and inequality between friends.
