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 3030953173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030953171\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\/02\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.41d","brand":"Gabriella Slomp","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44128860995839,"sku":"9783030953171","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6e33b199-c34b-415a-b6c8-0dc6f51f36bd.jpg?v=1687460833","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hobbes-against-friendship-gabriella-slomp-9783030953171","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
