Abstract

The article is a review of the book by L. Denworth Friendship: The Evolution, Biology, and Extraordinary Power of Life’s Fundamental Bond (Moscow: CORPUS, 2022. 364 p.). The book presents an attempt to combine and analyze various approaches (from biological to sociological) to the study of friendship. Certainly, friendship is a complex phenomenon in the sociological perspective, which has not yet received proper scientific attention. Despite the fact that Denworth declares friendship the focus of the research, the book examines social relations in general and their impact on the personal well-being and health. In addition to friendship, Denworth considers issues of loneliness, bullying in schools, and the influence of social networks on relationships. Denworth pays special attention to the research of primatologists in order to find an answer to the question about the evolutionary origins of human friendship. The review identifies both the strengths of the book and those aspects that require a more thorough analysis. To contextualize the book, the review also examines sociological studies of friendship and works on similar issues.

社会福利研究中的友谊现象

这篇文章是对L.Denworth Friendship:The Evolution，Biology，and Extraordinary Power of Life’s Fundamental Bond（莫斯科：CORPUS，2022）一书的评论。364页）。这本书试图结合和分析研究友谊的各种方法（从生物学到社会学）。当然，从社会学的角度来看，友谊是一种复杂的现象，尚未得到应有的科学关注。尽管Denworth宣称友谊是研究的重点，但这本书考察了一般的社会关系及其对个人幸福和健康的影响。除了友谊，Denworth还考虑了孤独、学校欺凌以及社交网络对人际关系的影响等问题。Denworth特别关注灵长类动物学家的研究，以找到人类友谊进化起源问题的答案。这篇评论既确定了这本书的优点，也确定了需要更彻底分析的方面。为了将这本书置于背景之中，这篇评论还考察了友谊的社会学研究以及关于类似问题的著作。

期刊介绍： The mission of the Journal is a broad exchange of scientific information, and of the results of theoretical and empirical studies of the researchers from different fields of sociology: history of sociology, sociology of management, political sociology, economic sociology, sociology of culture, etc., philosophy, political science, demography – both in Russia and abroad. The articles of the Journal are grouped under ‘floating’ rubrics (chosen specially to structure the main themes of each issue), with the following rubrics as basic: Theory, Methodology and History of Sociological Research Contemporary Society: The Urgent Issues and Prospects for Development Surveys, Experiments, Case Studies Sociology of Organizations Sociology of Management Sociological Lectures. The titles of the rubrics are generally broadly formulated so that, despite the obvious theoretical focus of most articles (this is the principal distinguishing feature of the Series forming the image of the scientific journal), in each section we can publish articles differing substantially in their area of study and subject matter, conceptual focus, methodological tools of empirical research, the country of origin and disciplinary affiliation.
