A Reading of "Friendship" by Maurice Blanchot

In this episode, Will reads Maurice Blanchot’s essay Friendship,
a haunting reflection on the impersonal and ineffable nature of
true friendship. Blanchot challenges the idea of friendship as
mutual understanding, revealing instead a relation marked by
silence, distance, and exposure. This reading anticipates our
upcoming "Philosophers and the Friend" reading group beginning
May 18, featuring works by Blanchot, Foucault, Derrida, and
more.
