Description
This collection of fifteen articles explores the concept of friendship from a philosophical perspective. Divided into three sections, it examines the nature of friendship, its moral significance, and its importance in individual and civic life.
The book provides an integrated overview of recent work on friendship, relating essays to each other and to broader discussions in philosophy and beyond. A comprehensive introduction by Neera Kapur Badhwar sets out the issues at stake and situates the essays within the larger philosophical picture.
