PHIL 235 - Friendship

Is it possible to be friends with your dog? Can the wicked be friends? How do friendships differ from kinship bonds? Do friends have duties to each other that they do not have to others? In this course we will explore the nature of friendship and its relation to other social bonds. Our focus will be primarily on philosophical texts, but we will also consider sociological and historical analyses, and friendship as depicted in film.
