'Philia' is a Greek word and was the name of one of Aristotle's four types of love.
According to a number of sources, the closest English translation is 'friendship'.
Aristotle's definition was a lot broader in that it included relationships we would describe as 'acquaintanceships' as well as the more familiar friendships.
The other three types of Aristotelian love were:
- Agape: Unconditional, or 'pure' love
- Storge: The love of family
- Eros: Sexual or marital love
