Description
Exploring the moral justification of emotion and its link to moral and emotional excellence, Kristjansson argues that pride is necessary for personhood and that jealousy plays a crucial role in maintaining self-respect.
He contends that not experiencing emotions like pride and jealousy when called upon would be evidence of a moral failing. This thought-provoking book offers a sympathetic hearing to these often-maligned emotions, shedding new light on their significance in our lives.
Written by Kristjansson, first published in 2006, this book is a valuable contribution to the fields of education, philosophy, and psychology.
