This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and biographer Plutarch's short work On Having Many Friends.
This episode focuses specifically on a number of features of true or genuine friendship that he discusses in the work. Some of these are his own later interpretation of earlier authors who discuss friendship, like Aristotle and Cicero.
