This comprehensive collection explores diverse philosophical perspectives on two fundamental aspects of human existence: love and friendship. Within the framework of comparative philosophy, these viewpoints diverge in terms of their cultural orientations, ranging from East to West, ancient to modern, and philosophical methodologies, encompassing analytical, historical, experimental, and phenomenological approaches. Additionally, they are motivated by different purposes, such as explanatory, revisionary, or argumentative.
The volume offers a comparative analysis of how different philosophical cultures perceive love and friendship. It examines how Aristotle and Confucius view friendship, highlighting similarities and differences. It also explores how the ancient Greeks and Buddhists conceptualize friendship and happiness, as well as the possibility of posthumous love.
Contributions from a diverse group of scholars make this book a valuable resource. It presents emerging views of Southeast Asian philosophers in contrast to those from other regions, including Europe and North America. By providing a multi-faceted perspective, the volume enhances our understanding of love and friendship across cultures, making it relevant to scholars interested in philosophy, the history of ideas, Asian Studies, and religious studies.
