Aristotle's lecture notes on friendship are in Books VIII and IX of his Nichomachean Ethics. He pursues the question of what friendship is, exploring the way it works, its perils and its promise. Part transcription, part modern-day reflection, Mark Vernon takes Aristotle's notes to ask the same question today.

Just beginning to listen to the series - I've heard the first three - but a minor suggestion before a 'review': they appear 'upside down'. In other words, Lecture One is at the bottom; Lecture 20, the first to appear. Could this be reversed? Also, another minor quibble - the music is slightly too loud and therefore a bit obtrusive.
Of course, it is the content which is most important and, so far, I have found that fascinating!
