Beskrivning

The Ethics of Anger provides the resources needed to understand the prevalence of anger in relation to ethics, religion, social and political behavior, and peace studies. Providing theoretical and practical arguments, both for and against the necessity of anger, The Ethics of Anger assembles a variety of diverse perspectives in order to increase knowledge and bolster further research. Part one examines topics such as the nature and ethics of vengeful anger and the psychology of anger. Part two includes chapters on the necessity of anger as central to our moral lives, an examination of Joseph Butler’s sermons on resentment, and three chapters that explore anger within Confucianism, Buddhism, and other Eastern religions. Part three examines the practical responses to anger, offering several intriguing chapters on topics such as mind viruses, social justice, the virtues of anger, feminism, punishment, and popular culture. This book, edited by Court D. Lewis and Gregory L. Bock, challenges and provides a framework for how moral persons approach, incorporate, and/or exclude anger in their lives.

Recensioner i media

Lewis and Bock assemble a diverse array of reflections on the place of anger in moral life. Seven of the 12 essays address Martha Nussbaum’s work on transitional anger, a morally necessary form of non-retributive anger that combines a heightened sensitivity to wrongdoing and an invigorating motivation to redress harms. Several authors offer arguments in defense of the moral necessity of anger to fight oppression, promote political change, and overcome helplessness, humiliation, and despair. Others argue that anger is not morally necessary and that human beings are capable of cultivating alternatives to anger, such as forgiveness, tolerance, forbearance, and humility.... Other essays discuss feminist perspectives, punishment, the treatment of rage in popular culture, "mind viruses," and practical strategies for anger management in moral psychology. Highly recommended.
