Abstract:<\/h4>\n

This article explores the link between friendship and hope, with the aim of investigating whether it is possible to find, in the shared life between friends, a foundation that nourishes the hope of attaining the full good and happiness towards which human beings are oriented as their ultimate fulfilment, consisting in contemplation. To this end, it delves into the thought of Thomas Aquinas and the classical tradition that has addressed these questions. <\/p>\n
