Should it?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReflecting on two millennia of debates about the value of anger, Agnes Callard contends that efforts to distinguish righteous forms of anger from unjust vengeance, or appropriate responses to wrongdoing from inappropriate ones, are misguided. What if, she asks, anger is not a bug of human life, but a feature--an emotion that, for all its troubling qualities, is an essential part of being a moral agent in an imperfect world? And if anger is both troubling and essential, what then do we do with the implications: that angry victims of injustice are themselves morally compromised, and that it might not be possible to respond rightly to being treated wrongly? As Callard concludes, \"We can't be good in a bad world.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe contributions that follow explore anger in its many forms--public and private, personal and political--raising an issue that we must grapple with: Does the vast well of public anger compromise us all?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAgnes Callard is Associate Professor in Philosophy at the University of Chicago and the author of \u003ci\u003eAspiration: The Agency of Becoming\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDeborah Chasman is Coeditor-in-Chief of \u003ci\u003eBoston Review\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJoshua Cohen is Coeditor-in-Chief of \u003ci\u003eBoston Review\u003c\/i\u003e, member of the faculty of Apple University, and Distinguished Senior Fellow in Law, Philosophy, and Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePaul Bloom is Professor of Psychology at Yale University. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBrandon Terry is Assistant Professor of African and African American Studies and Social Studies at Harvard University. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhitney Phillips is Assistant Professor of Communication, Culture, and Digital Technologies at Syracuse University\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Boston Review","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52038908346642,"sku":"9781946511546","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_a7df7186-d78a-4e0e-8e62-3a21604e5c3b.jpg?v=1771340815","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/on-anger-9781946511546","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
