Thinking about Friendship

Historical and Contemporary Philosophical Perspectives

Herausgegeben: Caluori, Damian

Beschreibung

It's hard to imagine a good life without friends. But why is friendship so valuable? What is friendship at all? What unites friends and distinguishes them from others? Is the preference given to friends rationally and morally justifiable? This collection examines answers given by classic philosophers and offers new answers by contemporary thinkers.
