Summary:
"
Anger
is not just ubiquitous, it is also popular. Many people think it is impossible to care sufficiently for
justice
without
anger
at injustice. Many believe that it is impossible for individuals to vindicate their own self-respect or to move beyond an injury without
anger
. To not feel
anger
in those cases would be considered suspect. Is this how we should think about
anger
, or is
anger
above all a disease, deforming both the personal and the political? In this wide-ranging book, Martha C. Nussbaum, one of our leading public intellectuals, argues that
anger
is conceptually confused and normatively pernicious. It assumes that the suffering of the wrongdoer restores the thing that was damaged, and it betrays an all-too-lively interest in relative status and humiliation. Studying
anger
in intimate relationships, casual daily interactions, the workplace, the criminal
justice
system, and movements for social transformation, Nussbaum shows that
anger
's core ideas are both infantile and harmful."--provided by publisher.
