Before and during the times Of Confucius and Aristotle,the concept of friendship had very difierent implications.This Paper compares Confucius'friendship.Aristotle holds that there are three kinds of friends and corresponding to them are three types of friendship.In the friendship for the sake of pleasure,there is no xin;in the legal form of friendship for the sake of utility,xin is guaranteed by law;and in the moral fotm of friendship for the sake of utility,xin is guaranteed by morality:in the friendship for the sake of virtue,xin is an indispensable part.Both thinkers believe friends can bring joy to human life.Aristotle,it is the joy of Reason.There are many commonalities and differences between the two.The commonalities reveal some inner links between Confucian rendao and Aristotelian Reason.It seems that the difierences between rendao and Reason are the differences between moral reason and logical reason.The comparative study is helpful for us to understand the two masters' ethics,politics and philosophy.
