Description

Civil Passions: Moral Sentiment and Democratic Deliberation by Sharon R. Krause explores the relationship between passions and impartiality in moral and political deliberation. Krause argues that moral and political decision-making should incorporate passions, even as they value impartiality. Drawing on a range of sources, including Hume's theory of moral sentiment and recent findings in neuroscience, she presents a systematic account of how passions can generate an impartial standpoint. This book offers a new perspective on the role of emotions in politics, one that could inform a more effective approach to justice and social change.
