ON ANGER TASCHENBUCH

Is anger eternal? Righteous? Reflections on the causes and consequences of an phenomenon
critical to our intimate and public lives. From Aristotle to Martha Nussbaum  philosophers have
explored the moral status of anger. We get angry for a reason: we feel wronged. 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. 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. Instead  it reflects a cry for help—a recognition that
something shared is broken. And only in acknowledging the value of that shared project  she
argues  can we begin together to repair it. Anger  then  is a starting point. 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. Contributors Rachel Achs  Paul
