The study shows that Hobbes did not question the occurrence of friendship; rather, he rejected friendship as an explanatory and normative principle of peace and cooperation. Hobbes's stance was influential because it captured the spirit of modernity- its individualism, nominalism, practical scepticism, and materialism. Hobbes's legacy has a bearing on contemporary debates about civic, international and global friendship. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gabriella Slomp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030953149\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030953140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.44d","brand":"Gabriella Slomp","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44128361152767,"sku":"9783030953140","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_04276f84-941a-498e-b744-a423c0e588cb.jpg?v=1687458319","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hobbes-against-friendship-gabriella-slomp-9783030953140","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
