Description
A fresh perspective on friendship from a philosopher's point of view. Sophie Grace Chappell explores what it means to be a friend and how this role intersects with other aspects of life.
Chappell examines the complexities of friendship through a range of examples, including those from popular culture, alongside recent debates in philosophy, politics, social theory, and theology. She argues that friendship is neither systematic nor earnest, yet remains one of the greatest goods of human experience.
This book offers a thought-provoking redefinition of friendship as a highly untidy and multifaceted concept, shedding new light on its significance and importance in our lives.
