Reviews

Love.
This collection contains a spectacular array of short works and excerpts on the question of friendship all in one place. From reading this, it is easy to watch the progression of ideas in the Great Conversation, as each other responds and refines the ideas of the last.
I read this book in conjunction with a Shakespeare course of the tenets of friendship. The philosophers highlighted offer eccentric theories, some of which are applicable even today, and others which are a lot more farfetched.
I had to buy it for a class I had to take. That pretty much wraps up what I felt about the book.
Here in this book are collected some of the most significant essays and dialogues on the nature of friendship ever written. The book spans a vast period of time and so multiple historical and cultural contexts (though Western).
