Synopsis: This collection of chapters explores the often-overlooked concept of fraternity, positioning it alongside freedom and equality as a vital pillar of political discourse from its ancient origins to contemporary practice.In a comprehensive framework, the book delves into fraternity's evolving meanings, contexts and functions across Western and non-Western settings. It highlights fraternity's relational dimension, examining it as a term that overlaps with solidarity, community and civic friendship. The contributors investigate fraternity from three key perspectives: its ambivalence and complexity rooted in the tension between inward and outward orientations, and its dual presence in secular and religious discourse. By uncovering these layers, the chapters reveal how fraternity continues to shape and redefine our social and political landscapes.Targeted towards students, academics and general readers, this thought-provoking anthology invites readers to reconsider the importance of fraternity in modern society and its potential to foster connections in an increasingly fragmented world.
