Preferred term

sociability  

Definition(s)

  • The question whether human beings are to be regarded as social by nature—that is, whether they are naturally sociable and inclined to seek social cooperation and satisfaction from each other's company—was one of the central questions that separated the philosophers of the European Enlightenment. The meaning of sociability could vary from the preference for one another's company to altruistic behavior. [Source: Encyclopedia of Consumer Culture; Sociability]
