Abstract
The purpose of this study is to reveal the concept of philia and relation between philia and education. In ancient times, the concept of philia is meant to a unique communion between ancient wise man who is pursuing virtue. And that communion is based on the ‘natural kinship’ as a kinship of soul. 
 According to Lysis, this natural kinship is closely related to the process of the pursuing virtue. After modern times, the concept of philia has changed because it has lost its base of kinship. Regardless of the pursuing virtue, the more emphasis is placed on kinship, the more difficult it becomes for humans to have intimate relationships. The educational community confirms that philia(friendship) as a natural kinship can be properly implemented in the process of pursuing virtue.
