Amistad: Un Ensayo Compartido / Friendship: A Shared Essay
Amistad: Un Ensayo Compartido / Friendship: A Shared Essay
by Sigman, Mariano , Bergareche, Jacobo
Paperback - Spanish

Un fascinante ensayo sobre la amistad.

«Sin amigos nadie querría vivir, aunque tuviera todos los otros bienes , escribió Aristóteles. Sin embargo, si bien la amistad es desde tiempos inmemoriales una de las aspiraciones fundamentales de la vida, no solemos reflexionar sobre su naturaleza. Cómo se hace un amigo? Por qué algunas personas nos caen bien al instante? Puede la amistad sobrevivir en la distancia? Se aprende? Es cultural? Ha de ser recíproca? Puede darse entre padres e hijos? Cuándo y por qué se acaba? Qué pasa cuando se mezcla con el deseo?

Dos amigos, el neurocientífico Mariano Sigman y el escritor Jacobo Bergareche, acudieron a la ciencia y la filosofía para explorar esas preguntas. Pero pronto sintieron que esa literatura no reflejaba la amplia diversidad de miradas sobre este tipo de relaciones, y convocaron entonces a personas de todo tipo y condición con las que conversaron en intimidad. Así, por estas páginas desfilan el octogenario presidente de un banco, un joven emigrante salvadoreño sin papeles, la directora de una residencia de ancianos, una actriz, un viticultor, una escritora y un colectivo de grafiteros. Entre todos ellos componen un fresco inmenso de aquello que llamamos «amistad .

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A fascinating essay on friendship.

"No one would want to live friendless, even if they had all other goods," wrote Aristotle. However, while friendship has been a fundamental aspiration in life since the dawn of time, we don't usually reflect on its nature. How does one make a friend? Why is it that some people are instantly likeable? Can friendship survive long distance? Is it learned? Is it cultural? Should it be reciprocated? Is it plausible between parents and their children? When and why does it end? What happens when it gets mixed with desire?

Two friends, neuroscientist Mariano Sigman and writer Jacobo Bergareche, turned to science and philosophy to explore these very questions. But soon felt that such literature did not capture the ample diversity of these kinds of relationships, and so convened people of all sorts and conditions with whom they had intimate conversations. Thus, we see an octogenarian bank president, a young undocumented Salvadoran immigrant, the director of a nursing home, an actress, a winegrower, a writer, and a collective of taggers marching through these pages. Together they make up a grand fresco of what we call "friendship."
