In the mediaeval and early modern period, just like in ancient times, this was different. The classical philosophy of friendship (Aristotle) included both friendship and love in the concept of philia. It was also linked to an argument about the virtues needed to become an excellent member of the city state. Thus, close relations were not only thought to be a matter of pleasant gatherings in privacy, but just as much a matter of ethics and politics. What, then, happened to the classical ideas of close relations when they were transmitted to philosophers, clerical and monastic thinkers, state officials or other people in the medieval and early modern period? To what extent did friendship transcend the distinctions between private and public that then existed? How were close relations shaped in practice? Did dialogues with close friends help to contribute to the process of subject-formation in the Renaissance and Enlightenment? To what degree did institutions of power or individual thinkers find it necessary to caution against friendship or love and sexuality? These are some of the questions raised in the book, on the basis of different European sources. The discussions touch upon changes in the distinctions between private and public, in subject- formation and legal practices, as well as the varying cultural, existential and ethical importance of close relations in history. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Friendship|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85051992|zEurope|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85045631-781|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Love|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85078519 |zEurope|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85045631-781|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Sex|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85120549 |zEurope|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85045631-781|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99005024 650 7 Friendship.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/935174 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Love.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1002769 650 7 Sex.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1114160 650 7 Friendships.|2homoit|0https://homosaurus.org/v3/ homoit0000455 651 7 Europe.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1245064 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aÖsterberg, Eva, 1942-|tFriendship and love, ethics and politics.|dBudapest ; New York : Central European University Press, 2010|z9789639776609|w(DLC) 2009036364|w(OCoLC)441945004 830 0 Natalie Zemon Davis annual lecture series.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2008019863 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=317510|zOnline eBook.
