AB - What did Aristotle think about erōs, which means physical love? This paper is basically an exploration of this question. However, here we will deal with love not in the context of ontology nor in natural philosophy, but in the context of ethics and politics, where Aristotle discussed friendship(philia). The problem is that Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics and Politics, which describe human behavior and happiness, the state(polis) and good life, contain only fragmentary mentions about physical love or erōs. Nevertheless, this study will show that there are some significant mentions on erōs in Aristotle, and that there is an important context in which they are connected with the discussions of philia, and finally that these discussions about love and friendship have significant implications for social relations in Aristotle’s practical philosophy.
