I think that the friendship between Marx and Engels was exemplary in terms of mutual admiration and intellectual cooperation. They were also ‘comrades-in-arms’ for a society of justice and equality. In their friendship, it is true that Engels supported Marx and his family financially, without which he would probably not be able to write his magna opera.
Another interesting conversation. I've heard and read about Montaigne in French media over the years, but had no idea about this extreme conception of friendship. However, I also believe that there is a hidden meaning or purpose in life, so that was his experience. Can't even imagine being fused with someone, and who wants to feel like "half a person" afterwards?
Montaigne's ideas are always worth pondering about. It would be interesting to compare, in Montaigne's view, friendship and love and how one influences, encourages or hinders the other. They are two feelings which boundaries are frequently tricky to establish with precision.
I read a French blog about their relationship; honestly felt like a wattpad fanfiction... all the citations were suggesting one thing. Also I honestly recommend you to check on Virginia Woolf's essay Montaigne published in The Common Reader. I wrote a piece on their essayistic style of writing and similarity regarding defining what obstacles a person creating an honest essay is finding.
I have had one friend (who, sadly, also died young) in my life, like de La Boetie. There was nothing sexual about it, so none of this sounds strange to my ears and, unless there is some historical evidence to the contrary, one needn't jump to the conclusion that there was something "sexual" between Montaigne and de La Boetie. Having read the essay, I am even less inclined to believe so.
Incredible to know that essay was created in the 1500s in France. Socrates had been dead for 1800 years, and there was absolutely no tradition carried on between his death and 1200. There was just a massive frozen wasteland to the north of the Greeks who wouldn’t go up there because it was full of “pink barbarians.”So how was this “tradition” transmitted generation after generation when everyone was illiterate? How Western is Western Civilization when the uncivilized Anglo illiterate pink barbarians invaded the Celtic aisles starting 450 AD, killing the Celts who were learning to read and being Christianized. Look, I don’t care if the French, British and Germans stole Greek ideas 1,800 after they died, but anyone could have stolen them.
I honestly love your discussion sessions. They are sooo wholesome. Please keep them coming ❤

By "love" do you mean romantic love or Eros? Because friendship is also love.
