Reconsidering Anger as a Political Emotion: On Martha Nussbaum’s Anger and Forgiveness
Main Article Content
Abstract
This critical note examines Martha Nussbaum’s perspective on anger
presented in her last book Anger and Forgiveness. Resentment, Generosity, Justice
(2016). I place this book in the context of Nussbaum’s philosophical
project in order to trace changes and continuities in her views on anger, and
then I examine some criticisms that have been held against her proposal of a
political culture based on humanizing emotions based on the vindication of
anger.
