Description: In the history of Western thought, friendship's relationship to politics is checkered. Friendship was seen as key to understanding political life in the ancient world, but it was then ignored for centuries. Today, friendship has again become a desirable framework for political interaction. In 'Friendship Reconsidered', P. E. Digeser contends that our rich and varied practices of friendship multiply and moderate connections to politics.
