There is a constant debate among the Ancients: if friendship is a practice between two individuals, in a small and particular community, or in a socio-political group, does it have a utilitarian dimension? More precisely we encounter this problem: does a person that is happy have friends? We seem to stumble on a vicious circle. As a matter of fact, a happy person does not have needs, therefore he or she does not need friends.
