Description
Upheavals of Thought: The Intelligence of Emotions by Martha C. Nussbaum In this thought-provoking book, philosopher Martha Nussbaum explores the complex role of emotions in our thoughts and actions. Drawing on a wide range of disciplines, including philosophy, psychology, anthropology, music, and literature, Nussbaum argues that emotions are intelligent appraisals of the world around us, shaped by our most significant goals and plans. Nussbaum's work is deeply personal, as she reflects on her own experiences of grief and loss, including the death of her mother. She examines the implications of this idea for our understanding of compassion, love, and other emotions, and how they shape our moral reasoning and decision-making. By illuminating the structure of emotions, Nussbaum reveals new insights into the importance of literature as a source of ethical education. Through her Gifford Lectures, Nussbaum offers a nuanced and insightful exploration of the human experience, one that challenges readers to rethink their understanding of emotions and their place in our lives.
