Love, friendship and the self [electronic resource] : intimacy, identification, and the social nature of persons / Bennett W. Helm. Helm, Bennett W. Love Philosophy. Friendship Philosophy. Emotions (Philosophy) Identity (Philosophical concept) BD436 128.46 22 Includes bibliographical references and index. Description based on print version record. Bennett Helm re-examines our common understanding of ourselves as persons in light of the phenomena of love and friendship. He argues that the individualism that is implicit in that understanding cannot be sustained if we are to understand the kind of distinctively personal intimacy that love and friendship involve.
