Aristotle argued that perfect friendship is a ‘proof against slander’. In other words, perfect friendship requires that you not believe bad things that are said about your friend and that you will automatically take your friend’s side against others when they are saying bad things about your friend. Why does Aristotle say this? Do you agree with him?
Stroud agrees with Aristotle that friendship requires that a good friend will tend to believe good things about her friends and disbelief bad things about them, simply because they are friends. She notes that this is in tension with what most theories of epistemology say about how we are supposed to form beliefs – we’re supposed to be impartial. She offers three ways philosophers could respond to this tension. Pick one, then explain it in your own words.
