'Higher Forms of Interdependence': Saul Bellow and Friendship

最后，我的论文将探讨扫罗贝伊的小说如何表达美学和友谊的政治。它也将在友谊的写作历史中（亚里士多德，蒙田，爱默生，德里达等）以及在其他领域，如哲学、政治学和心理学的近期研究中。以《伯灵顿》为博士研究的坚实中心，也可能作为以后工作的范例，我还打算提出一些方法，把友谊作为人类关系的一个类别，作为一个比喻性共鸣的术语，可以成为研究其他作家的一种有效和启发性的方法。请参阅我所附的研究计划，以更全面地了解我的论文的规划轮廓.

Ultimately, my thesis will examine how Saul Bellow's fiction articulates and aesthetics and a politics of friendship. It willalso situate Bellow within the history of writing in friendship (Aristotle, Montaigne, Emerson, Derrida, etc.) and withinmore recent work in other fields, such as philosophy, politics, and psychology. With Bellow as a firm centre for the PhD,and also perhaps as an example for later work, I also intend to suggest ways in which a consideration of friendship, bothas a category of human relationships and as a term of much figurative resonance, can be an effective and illuminatingapproaching for studying other writers. Please see my attached research proposal for a fuller account of the projectedcontours of my thesis.
