This book is incredibly dense, almost prohibitively so, but I found it well worth the effort and persistence. I am unfamiliar with philosophy, so the language of argument and some of the rhetoric was daunting at first, though I began to get the gist of it and found that with continued attention, there was much that was very accessible. Dr. Nussbaum is very good at breaking down a subject into easily discussed topics, something that is required if the conversation about something as broadly defined and amorphous as emotion and the role it plays in the reasoned life. I have heard her give interviews and a few lectures and am consistently affected by the care and specificity with which she speaks. She draws many varied works of art into her discussion of how we process emotion, particularly the emotion we call love, as we grow and live day to day. I found the conversation regarding James Joyce's Ulysses particularly powerful. It is a wonderful work for deeper consideration. This book traveled with me in my life for a full year, and will do so again, a thing to which I look forward with joy. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Emotions shape the landscape of our mental and social lives. Like geological upheavals in a landscape, they mark our lives as uneven, uncertain and prone to reversal. Are they simply, as some have claimed, animal energies or impulses with no connection to our thoughts? Or are they rather suffused with intelligence and discernment, and thus a source of deep awareness and understanding? In this compelling book, Martha C. Nussbaum presents a powerful argument for treating emotions not as alien forces but as highly discriminating responses to what is of value and importance. She explores and illuminates the structure of a wide range of emotions, in particular compassion and love, showing that there can be no adequate ethical theory without an adequate theory of the emotions. This involves understanding their cultural sources, their history in infancy and childhood, and their sometimes unpredictable and disorderly operations in our daily lives.

The Lesson so far is WIDE READING of those you like and don't like. (Charles Taylor). The Philosophy book reading seems to be a mainstay of academic reading.
