In this lecture/discussion session from my Fall 2013 Introduction to Philosophy class at Marist College, we continue and finish our discussion of Cicero's work On Friendship. We discuss why virtue or moral goodness -- or at least recognizing it and working towards it -- is needed for friendships in the fullest sense. We also look at just how virtue unfolds within friendship, then discuss a common problematic: friends asking friends to do things that are morally wrong or shameful. We also discuss Cicero's criticisms of some proposed limitations or boundaries for friendship and finish by discussing breakups
