Do you feel like you're missing something important in your friendships?<br /><em>You probably are.</em></strong></span><br /><br /><span style=\"color: #000000;\">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.</span><br /><br /><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Not All Friendships Are Equal</strong></span><br /><br /><span style=\"color: #000000;\">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.</span><br /><br /><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>True Friends and Personal Virtue</strong></span><br /><br /><span style=\"color: #000000;\">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.</span><br /><br /><span style=\"color: #000000;\">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.</span><br /><br /><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Ancient and Biblical Wisdom</strong></span><br /><br /><span style=\"color: #000000;\">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.</span><br /><br /><span style=\"color: #000000;\">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.</span></div>\n<div>&nbsp;</div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><strong>Lectures</strong></span></div>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">An Introduction to Happiness and Friendship</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Nature and Kinds of Friendship</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What It Takes to Form True Friendship</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Growing Together in Moral Character</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Conversation between Friends</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Friendship and the Broader Community</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Friendship, Dating, and Marriage</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Charity: Friendship with God and Neighbor</span></li>\n</ol>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><strong>Lecture Sample</strong></span></div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\n<script src=\"https://fast.wistia.com/embed/medias/w6nun7ebjc.jsonp\" async=\"\"></script>\n<script src=\"https://fast.wistia.com/assets/external/E-v1.js\" async=\"\"></script>\n</span></p>\n<div class=\"wistia_responsive_padding\" style=\"padding: 56.25% 0 0 0; position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"wistia_responsive_wrapper\" style=\"height: 100%; left: 0; position: absolute; top: 0; width: 100%;\">\n<div class=\"wistia_embed wistia_async_w6nun7ebjc seo=false videoFoam=true\" style=\"height: 100%; position: relative; width: 100%;\">\n<div class=\"wistia_swatch\" style=\"height: 100%; left: 0; opacity: 0; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; top: 0; transition: opacity 200ms; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><img style=\"filter: blur(5px); height: 100%; object-fit: contain; width: 100%;\" src=\"https://fast.wistia.com/embed/medias/w6nun7ebjc/swatch\" alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" /></span></div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n<div>&nbsp;</div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><strong>Meet Your Professor</strong></span></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Dr. John Cuddeback took his B.A. at Christendom College.

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.
