About this episode

The episode explores the significance of platonic friendships in the formation of the self and their relationship to ethical romantic connections.

In this essay, I use platonic friendships as an example for how the self is created out of its relations with others. This may seem odd since I've been using romantic relations as a case study for the definition of a solarpunk self. Why are platonic friendships necessary for romance that can create us as ethical people? If you like this episode, please be sure to 5 star the podcast and follow for more!
