Soft coverAn important theme that runs through this book is the recovery and clarification of the interrelated concepts and experiences of dialogue, debate, conversation and communication.
These presuppose and at the same time promote solidarity and friendship. Greek philosophers had an extraordinary perspective in exploring the varieties of friendship and in highlighting their importance for ethics and politics. As argued here, the experience of solidarity and friendship is central to the thoughts of Gadamer, Habermas, Rorty, and Arendt. Bernstein has come to understand the meaning and power of friendship and solidarity not only from the writings of these authors, but also from his own conversations, debates and dialogues with them.
