PHILIA WITHOUT EROS. THE FRIENDS COMMUNITY AS A CRITIQUE O LIBERAL SOCIABILITY

Abstract

The present work tries to develop as the critical arguments most ended against the political liberalism are articulated from the figure of the political friendship, understood as a phenomenon not inserted into the world of emotions, but as a dispassionate passion of the public itself. In this respect we will take again two contemporary conceptions that recover the category of friendship to think the political thing, and to initiate from there a critique to the liberalism. The conception articulated by Schmitt, and the the comunitarist`s perspective. Conceptions that nevertheless to raise divergent attitudes concerning the political thing, his treatment concerning the friendship have common elements that allow to conduit the critiques to the liberalism.
