On Friendship

By Alexander Nehamas

“Friendship is, without question, one of life’s great gifts. …In On Friendship, the acclaimed philosopher Alexander Nehamas launches a far-ranging investigation into this crucial feature of our lives. Nehamas argues that the good of friendship is not of the moral variety, but rather lies in the closed world that a friendship creates. It is through time spent with our friends that we distinguish ourselves from the rest of humanity.” book cover
