Though persons are separate, their lives need not be. One person's life may overflow into another's, so that, according to Price, helping the other person is a way of helping oneself. Price suggests that this idea is present in the accounts of love and friendship given by both Plato and Aristotle. He also argues that their views on love and friendship in personal relationships, the household and the city-state can resolve the old dichotomy between altruism and egoism.
