Nichols. The essays reflect Nichols' pathbreaking work in ancient Greek political thought, as well as her influential treatments of works of literature and film in conversation with political theory. Part I: Conversations Concerning Love and Friendship features essays about the philosophical meaning of human connection and affection. Part II: Conversations Between Politics and Poetry looks at the political significance of art, and the ways in which political rule can be understood to be artistic or poetic. Part III: Conversations from Tragedy to Comedy considers whether the human need for community is something to be lamented or celebrated. Broad in scope and interdisciplinary in approach, the essays in this volume address authors such as Plato, Aristotle, Shakespeare, Machiavelli, Mary Wollstonecraft, G.W.F. Hegel, Jane Austen, Henry James, William Faulkner, Albert Camus, J.R.R. Tolkien, \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroductionMatthew Dinan and Denise SchaefferPart I – Conversations about Love and Friendship\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1 The Good, Truth, and Friendship in Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStephen Block and Patrick Cain\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter2: Friendship and the Solitude of Greatness: The Case of Charles de Gaulle\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDaniel Mahoney\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Love and Friendship in Henry James’s The Bostonians\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLisa Pace Vetter\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Whit Woody Barcelona: Love and Friendship in Whit Stillman’s Barcelona and Woody Allen’s Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnn Ward and Lee Ward\u003c\/p\u003ePart II – Conversations Between Politics and PoetryChapter 5: Putting Together Courage and Moderation in Plato and Shakespeare\u003cp\u003eKenneth DeLuca\u003c\/p\u003eChapter 6: Shakespeare’s Princess: Education for Love and Rule in The Tempest\u003cp\u003ePaul E.
