Carter and Gordon have skilfully assembled an excellent resource for understanding and appraising pride – one of the most complex and contested components of our moral and intellectual lives. Typically maligned as vicious or sinful, this volume urges a more nuanced approach to understanding and appraising its many forms. The chapters draw widely on empirical psychology, virtue epistemology, Christian and Hindu religion, and liberatory social theory to examine how pride can both facilitate and corrupt our moral, social, and intellectual life.
