Sažetak
A man is a seeker of happiness because he is a person. That is why the question of human happiness includes moral life, but it also transcends it. The purpose of moral life is the good by which human action and man himself become good. Such good are virtues, but man, because of his fragility and helplessness, finds it difficult to acquire them. That is why true friendship is a privileged place and help for growth in virtue and joy of life. Friendship can also be a stimulating environment for a diligent search for truth and a contemplation of God, which is the source of human eudaimonia. But despite their value, human friendship and philosophical wisdom remain limited. Man cannot fulfil his desire for love, truth, and perfection by his own efforts. That is why Christian theology complements philosophy with the concept of friendship with God. This friendship leads to the perfect realization of the human person and to the unity of subjectivity and objectivity, immanence and transcendence, receiving and giving, which began with human friendship.
