The friend, the enemy, the stranger, the refugee or deportee, and
the survivor. In singular and provocative fashion, Gregg Lambert's
Philosophy after Friendship introduces us to the key social
personae that have populated modern political philosophy. Drawing
on the philosophies of Deleuze and Derrida, as well as the work of
Indo-European linguist Emile Benveniste, Lambert constructs a
genealogy to demonstrate how political thought has been structured
by the emergence of such "conceptual personae." At the center of
Philosophy after Friendship is the persona of the friend, together
with the idea of friendship, on which the democratic ideals of
consensus, fraternity, and equality are based. Lambert argues that
the vitality of this conceptual persona, originated by the Greeks,
has been exhausted by centuries of war. In fact, we might today be
witnessing the overturning of an earlier philosophical idealism
that saw friendship as the destination of the political and, in its
place, the emergence of a nonphilosophical understanding that has
set perpetual war as the ultimate ground from which future thinking
of the political must depart. In his Conclusion, Lambert proposes a
truly "postwar philosophy" that takes as its first principle the
idea of perpetual peace, which would require nothing less than a
complete reevaluation of the goals of any future political
philosophy, if not the meaning of philosophy itself.
