Abstract |
The author analyses the ontological status and teleology of friendship viewed as a complex psychological and social phenomenon. The paper is to suggest a two-part model of friendship: the first part is an irrational core of friendship — unique psychological reality of subjective experience, the second part is a universal, rationally cognoscible periphery — social practices of friendship. Causally friendship is defined as a bio-social adaptation. The author hypothesizes that friendship can also be examined in teleological terms — from the perspective of its purpose. From this point of view friendship is perceived as a desirable state of humanity’s psychological frame in future. |
