Friendship as sacred knowing: overcoming isolation
This work addresses itself to the modern experience of isolation. Stories of loneliness amidst the fragmentation of community are familiar in this age, as are tales of alienation provoked by the insistent indifference of the scientific cosmos. This book delves beneath such stories, arguing that the crisis of isolation in the present age betokens a more fundamental incoherence within the modern rational subject.
