On the basis of friendship - a reply to Phelan

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract (may include machine translation)

What is common to all instances of friendship? Given their seemingly heterogeneous character, Phelan [2019. “Rethinking Friendship.” Inquiry] suggests that friendships are relationships that result from collaborative norm-manipulation. In this paper, I suggest that this proposal fails to account for all friendships without relying on the notion of some kind of care.
