  • Interesting word. OED has Conviviality is a noun derived from the adjective convivial, meaning friendly and sociable. It means the quality of being convivial or the state of enjoying each other’s company.

    Wikipedia has Conviviality is a term that refers to the ability of individuals to interact creatively and autonomously with others and their environment. It was introduced by Ivan Illich as a contrast to industrial productivity and alienation, and has been used in various contexts and disciplines to explore the politics and culture of living with difference.

    andrewism has Conviviality is individual freedom realised in mutual interdependence. Which I find a succinct representation, fascinating how words, and with them thought patterns (or the other way around) evolve, I’ll be adding this to the quiver, thanks.
