This is a comparative study of the theories of love found in the writings of Aristotle and pre-Ching Confucianism. Love of friendship is one of the civic virtues in the ancient Greek state. Generally, for Aristotle, it refers to a choice of moral behavior made with practical wisdom rather than an inborn characteristic. For Confucius and Mencius, charity of love is not an exception but instead a natural aspect of human nature. This research therefore concludes that in terms of the essence of love, the factor of engendering love, the method of love and the object of love, Aristotle's theories are different from Confucius and Mencius's philosophy.
