Let’s Begin…
Anger is a complicated emotion. It can feel reasonable and righteous or impulsive and uncontrollable. Anger can be an important part of letting us know when something immoral is happening, but finding the right response to those psychological alarm bells can be tricky. So, is it ever right to be angry? And if so, when? Delaney Thull takes a philosophical look at this powerful emotion.
Consider the arguments regarding the value and limitations of anger from Aristotle, the Stoics, Śāntideva, and Martha Nussbaum presented in the video. How do these perspectives contribute to your understanding of anger as a moral emotion? Can you provide real-life examples that support or challenge one of these philosophical viewpoints?
