Throughout the history of Western political philosophy, the idea of
friendship has occupied a central place in the conversation. It is
only in the context of the modern era that friendship has lost its
prominence. By retrieving the concept of friendship for
philosophical investigation, these essays invite readers to
consider how our political principles become manifest in our
private lives. They provide a timely corrective to contemporary
confusion plaguing this central experience of our public and our
private life. This volume assembles essays by well-known scholars
who address contemporary concerns about community in the context of
philosophical ideas about friendship. Part One includes essays on
ancient philosophers including Plato, Aristotle, and Cicero. Part
Two considers treatments of friendship by Christian thinkers such
as Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, and Calvin, and Part Three continues
with Thomas Hobbes, Montaigne, the American founders, and de
Tocqueville. The volume concludes with two essays that address the
postmodern emphasis on fragmentation and the dynamics of power
within the modern state. Contributors: John von Heyking, Richard
Avramenko, James M. Rhodes, Stephen M. Salkever, Walter Nicgorski,
Jeanne Heffernan Schindler, Thomas Heilke, Timothy Fuller, Travis
D. Smith, George Carey, Joshua Mitchell, and Jurgen Gebhardt.
