Focusing on Plato and Aristotle, the Stoics and Epicureans, and
early Christian and Medieval sources, this volume brings together
assessments of different philosophical accounts of friendship. This
volume sketches the evolution of the concept from ancient ideals of
friendship applying strictly to relationships between men of high
social position to Christian concepts that treat friendship as
applicable to all but are concerned chiefly with the soul s
relation to God and that ascribe a secondary status to human
relationships. The book concludes with two essays examining how
this complex heritage was received during the Enlightenment,
looking in particular to Immanuel Kant and Friedrich Holderlin."
