Course Description:
What is friendship? From ancient Greece to the present, this question has been central to our understanding of what it means to be human in a shared world. Is friendship a relationship based on sameness, or can it be based on difference? How does friendship relate to conflict? Is conflict a threat to friendship, turning friends into enemies, or can it also draw us closer? In this class, we will explore these questions by reading and discussing key works of literature and political theory. Assigned readings will include works from a range of writers such as Aristotle, Dante, Carl Schmitt, and Audre Lorde. Students will write regular reading responses and complete a final paper.
