About this product
Product Information
An entertaining and provocative investigation of friendship in all its variety, from ancient times to the present day A central bond, a cherished value, a unique relationship, a profound human need, a type of love. What is the nature of friendship, and what is its significance in our lives? How has friendship changed since the ancient Greeks began to analyze it, and how has modern technology altered its very definition? In this fascinating exploration of friendship through the ages, one of the most thought-provoking philosophers of our time tracks historical ideas of friendship, gathers a diversity of friendship stories from the annals of myth and literature, and provides unexpected insights into our friends, ourselves, and the role of friendships in an ethical life. A. C. Grayling roves the rich traditions of friendship in literature, culture, art, and philosophy, bringing into his discussion familiar pairs as well as unfamiliar--Achilles and Patroclus, David and Jonathan, Coleridge and Wordsworth, Huck Finn and Jim. Grayling lays out major philosophical interpretations of friendship, then offers his own take, drawing on personal experiences and an acute awareness of vast cultural shifts that have occurred. With penetrating insight he addresses internet-based friendship, contemporary mixed gender friendships, how friendships may supersede family relationships, one's duty within friendship, the idea of friendship to humanity, and many other topics of universal interest.

Praise for A. C. Grayling: "If there is any such person in Britain today as The Thinking Man, it is A. C. Grayling. He provides generous help for the ethically challenged, the philosophically perplexed, and the culturally confused."-- The Times, 'An intelligent, loving tribute to the virtues, values and varieties of friendship.'-Iain Finlayson, The Times, "Grayling's scholarship goes forward at a gallop, but his exuberance and commitment captures the reader."--Illtyd Harrington, Camden New Journal, "[A]n intelligent, loving tribute to the virtues, values and varieties of friendship."-Iain Finlayson, The Times, "An intelligent, loving tribute to the virtues, values and varieties of friendship."-Iain Finlayson, The Times, 'A superb, enlightening tour - and a friendly one through friendship's literary and philosophical landscape.' - Sarah Bakewell, author of How to Live: Or A Life of Montaigne in One Question and Twenty Attempts at an Answer, "A masterly investigation into one of the supreme, though often neglected, virtues of the well-lived life. A.C. Grayling dazzlingly illuminates the richness of friendship as it has been conceived and practised in the Western world since antiquity."--Simon May, author of Love: A History, "Wearing his impressive intellect lightly, Grayling offers an accessible exploration of ideas about friendship through the ages, from Ancient Greek thinkers through to the present day grounded in experiences from his own life. In a refreshing break from the tradition of analytical philosophy, he goes beyond abstract, logical arguments to offer valuable insights for our lives. With social media stretching the definition of 'friend' to near meaninglessness, this is a timely and thought-provoking read."-Juanita Coulson, The Lady, 'A superb, enlightening tour - and a friendly one - through friendship's literary and philosophical landscape.' - Sarah Bakewell, author of How to Live: Or A Life of Montaigne in One Question and Twenty Attempts at an Answer, "A philosophical inquiry into friendship with a historical perspective . . . [offers] some fresh ways of looking at and thinking about a very familiar topic."- Kirkus Reviews, "A masterly investigation into one of the supreme, though often neglected, virtues of the well-lived life. A.C. Grayling dazzlingly illuminates the richness of friendship as it has been conceived and practised in the Western world since antiquity."-Simon May, author of Love: A History, "Elegant . . . Grayling has taken a subject that is hiding in plain sight and given it the loving attention it deserves."--Joe Queenan, Barron's, "Grayling's scholarship goes forward at a gallop, but his exuberance and commitment captures the reader."-Illtyd Harrington, Camden New Journal, "Elegant . . . Grayling has taken a subject that is hiding in plain sight and given it the loving attention it deserves."-Joe Queenan, Barron's, "'Friend' is a much devalued word today. . . .In Friendship the noted British scholar A.C. Grayling tries to restore some of the term's richness." --Micah Mattix, The Wall Street Journal, "'Friend' is a much devalued word today. . . .In Friendship the noted British scholar A.C.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
