In the analysis of "Philia", Aristotle has deriving friendship from self-love in Nicomachean Ethics, speaking the importance of selfishness on achieving eudemonia. Dose books VIII and IX provide for an altruistic or egoistic view of friendship? Self-love is evident in Aristotle’s words; although the attribution of Aristotle's theory to moral-egoism has been rejected as a teleological theory. Altruism is expressed by the phrase '(to want good things for another 'for his sake and not for one's own'). The theory of Philia is a pattern including love to virtue found by a person in his own self first, and then extends it to the other. , i.e., our feelings or attitudes of friendship are derived from attitudes towards ourselves. The term “another self” represents a motivation for friendship that leads to altruistic goals, That is, attention to the other for the sake of other which arises from the similarity of people in intellectual part (nous).
