{"product_id":"cabinet-36-friendship-9781932698343","title":"Cabinet 36: Friendship","description":"The nature of friendship has been a subject of inquiry from the beginnings of the western philosophical tradition. Socrates considers the question of \u003ci\u003ephilia\u003c\/i\u003e in one of Plato's earliest dialogues, declaring that his \"passion for friends\" causes him to value them above even gold. Subsequent thinkers have continued the inquiry, yet friendship remains a phenomenon that \"may well be reckoned,\" as Emerson wrote, \"the masterpiece of nature.\" \u003ci\u003eCabinet\u003c\/i\u003e issue 36, with its special section on friendship, features Svetlana Boym on Hannah Arendt's definition of friendship as freedom from \"totalitarianism for two\"; Ruben Gallo on Freud's school friend with whom he communicated mainly in Spanish; and Regine Basha on Sol Lewitt's exchange of gifts with other artists.
