JINS 307 - Friendship

Friendship in the contemporary U.S. has been called “the neglected relationship” because few social ceremonies mark the beginning, development, or ending of friendships as significant relationships despite the reality that many of us identify it as the relationship most necessary for survival and happiness. Seminar members will scrutinize the nature and varieties of friendship from a number of perspectives (philosophy, psychology, sociology).
