Kala?[edit]

Nice work. I especially like the wikification restraint. Do we not have an article on Aristotle's concept of "the good", though? Jkelly 00:25, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks (though it's not finished yet — I need to add at least another section). I couldn't find an article on the good; perhaps that should be my next task... --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 09:38, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Phileo[edit]

Is this the same as Phileo; because I was developing an article on Phileo, but this seems similar. Daniel Christensen (talk) 02:06, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology[edit]

I'm a little confused. Was the word "philia" coined by Aristotle, or is this article documenting his unique use of a generic Greek word in the context of his philosophy? 141.151.23.70 (talk) 11:26, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Damon and Pythias[edit]

@ Meters, if I provide context, would you be okay with the painting?HeliumPearl (talk) 07:51, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pings don't work when you sign the post in a separate edit.

I don't see File:Eloi Firmin Féron prix de Rome.JPG as being a particularly useful addition to the lede. We shouldn't have to explain why an image is being used, particularly in the lede. It would be more appropriate elsewhere in the article, if the Damon and Pythias were already discussed. Meters (talk) 19:15, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Okay thanks, I'll look for a more useful image.HeliumPearl (talk) 07:04, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Meters, I've already put in a replacement image; please, check it out, if you will.HeliumPearl (talk) 13:19, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Again, pings don't work unless you use them properly. You cannot use the "@" symbol.

I removed the new image also. We can't assume readers of English Wikipedia will understand a German title, and "good friends" does not necessarily equate to "brotherly love". Why the push to add an image to this article? I suggest just leaving it alone. Meters (talk) 16:40, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If you have any more suggested images please list them here first. The format for listing an image without actually displaying it is to add a colon at the start, like this [[:File:Hermann Kern Gute Freunde 1904.jpg]], which displays as File:Hermann Kern Gute Freunde 1904.jpg Meters (talk) 17:03, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, thanks for the advice. HeliumPearl (talk) 11:48, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fear is opposite of love?[edit]

From the intro, 'The complete opposite is called a phobia.' I would think the opposite of loving something is hating it. Being afraid of it seems orthogonal to loving it. -phobiaphiliac — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.224.132.171 (talk • contribs)
