Summary "Human Intercourse" by Philip Gilbert Hamerton is a philosophical essay written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the complexities and nuances of human relationships, exploring themes such as companionship, love, and the challenges posed by societal norms. Through various essays, Hamerton examines the intricate dynamics of interpersonal connections and argues that genuine human interaction transcends conventional rules and classifications. At the start of the text, the author reflects on his dedication to Ralph Waldo Emerson, emphasizing the value of individuality and self-reliance in human relationships. He notes the difficulty of identifying fixed laws governing human intercourse, suggesting that each relationship is unique and shaped by personal experiences. Hamerton illustrates this point through anecdotes, such as the unexpected friendship that develops between two seemingly incompatible individuals. He proposes that true understanding requires an open mind and a willingness to observe the intricacies of human nature, hinting at deeper insights to be further explored in his essays.
