Beyond the Forum | What makes a good friend? w/ Jennifer Frey
About this episode
We're going *beyond the forum* with Dr. Jennifer Frey, our guest from last week. Dr. Frey is a philosopher at the University of South Carolina, and she teaches the philosophy of Aristotle, Plato, and other perennial philosophers.
We look at happiness in our relationships with others and how friendship plays a role in what it means to be human. In our discussion, we explore Aristotle’s three types of friends, how friendship and justice relate, and what it means to be a good friend.
