Foreword by Deborah Chasman, Joshua Cohen.
But could there ever be the end of anger?Bringing together today\'s leading thinkers on anger, this volume raises questions critical to our intimate and public lives..
Anger, then, is a starting point.
And only in acknowledging the value of that shared project, she argues, can we begin together to repair it.
Instead, it reflects a cry for help--a recognition that something shared is broken.
Although there are pragmatic reasons for ceasing to be angry and moving on, is eternal Anger moral? Is Anger righteous? In this collection, contributors consider these and other questions about the causes and consequences of anger.
Leading off the debate, philosopher Agnes Callard argues that Anger is not righteous rage; it is not an effort to solve a problem.
That reason can be eternal, some argue, because not even an apology or promise that it won\'t happen again can change the fact of the original harm.
We get angry for a reason: we feel wronged.
Contributions by Paul Bloom, Elizabeth Bruenig, Desmond Jagmohan, Daryl Cameron, Victoria Spring, Myisha Cherry, Jesse Prinz.
