Sažetak

This paper examines Aristotle’s concept of civic friendship (politikē philia) as a
normative framework for addressing key issues in contemporary societies, including
distrust, polarization and political fragmentation. It analyzes the nature of
civic friendship and its central features with a particular focus on civic eunoia,
motivated goodwill grounded in shared vulnerability, and homonoia, the political
concord necessary for sustaining communal life.
