Have you ever felt lonely, even when surrounded by people? Do you feel like you're missing something important in your friendships?
You probably
are.
Men and women are made, created, for friendship - but not just with passing
or casual acquaintances. We are designed for real, deep, lasting friendship
of the highest kind. Without that friendship, we often feel unsatisfied, empty,
or simply alone.
Not All Friendships
Are Equal
Did you know that there are different kinds of friendship? Dr. John Cuddeback,
your professor for this course, describes the basic kinds of friendships, but
he also shows you what friendship in the fullest sense really is - far more
than being simply "pals" or "BFF's." Professor Cuddeback
shows that Aristotle's division of friendships into three kinds - utility, pleasure
or virtue - has a pressing relevance for our lives today.
True Friends
and Personal Virtue
Courage, fortitude, wisdom, charity... what can these virtues have to do with
friendship? Being virtuous, says Aristotle, is how man becomes happy. If we
want a real friendship, we must first become the kind of person one would want
to be friends with.
Professor Cuddeback issues a challenge to personal virtue to everyone who longs
for abiding friendship. Find someone else who is also striving to grow in virtue
- together you can form the kind of friendship God intends us to have.
Ancient and
Biblical Wisdom
In this course, Professor Cuddeback deftly weaves together the age-old wisdom
of the Greeks and the fundamental teachings of Sacred Scripture to reveal the
most rewarding of human achievements - being a friend. He takes the thoughts
of the great philosopher Aristotle, the Angelic Doctor St. Thomas Aquinas, and
the sublime teachings of Jesus Christ to illustrate the nature and requirements
of true friendship.
Join Professor Cuddeback to discover what friendship is, why we seek it, why
good friends are so often hard to find, and how to make the friends (and be
the friend) you've always desired.
