RESUMO
This work aims to interpret the concept of friendship (philia) developed by Aristotle in the Books VIII and IX of the Nicomachea Ethics. The intention of NE is to reflect on the purpose of political and ethical science that is happiness (eudaimonia), or highest good, identified through the virtues experience. According to Aristotle, in life, no one can be happy without friendship. Considering the ethical, political and metaphysical relation we define man in the aristotelic concept, highlighting the conception of the soul (psyche). Considerations were made on the ethos theory and the concept of happiness and virtue (arete). The research develops and builds the relation between the friendships and virtues, the different kinds of friendship, in different stages of life, emphasizing the virtues of justice (dikaiosyne) and prudence (phronesis). In conclusion, we clarify the conception of political friendship that Aristotle states, approaching, specially, NEs Book IX, verifying through daily experience that since the antiquity the art of living is a constant unease
