After The Craftsman, the first of the books designed as a trilogy, Richard Sennett questions how we can learn to cooperate and cooperate in today's extremely tribal, competitive and self-centered world.

Living together with people who are racially, ethnically, religiously or economically very different is one of the most important problems facing today's civilized societies. We generally avoid dealing with people who are not like us, and modern politics is closer to a tribal politics than an urban politics. In this book that encourages people to think beyond the obvious, Richard Sennett focuses on the causes of tribalism and selfishness and also discusses what should be done about this issue.

According to Sennett, collaboration is a matter of skill, and the basis of successful collaboration lies in learning to listen and discuss rather than conflict. In Together, Sennett explores how people can collaborate on street corners, in schools, in workplaces and local politics, or in the virtual world. In this journey, we follow the development of cooperation rituals from the Middle Ages to the present day, from slave communities to Parisian socialist groups and Wall Street employees. Discussing the nature of cooperation, why it has weakened and how it can be strengthened in three parts, Sennett warns us as follows: If we want the well-being of our societies, which have become a network of complex relationships, we need to acquire and develop cooperation skills. And again he assures us: We can do this because the capacity for cooperation is inherent in humans.
