Opis

Is it appropriate to honour and admire artists, intellectuals, athletes or politicians if those people have also acted immorally? The authors draw on the latest research from ethics, value theory, philosophy of emotion, social philosophy and social psychology to present reasons both in favor and against honouring and admiring the immoral.

Recenzje

"A much-needed investigation in one of the hottest topics in philosophy, psychology, and public discourse"

Maria Silvia Vaccarezza, University of Genoa, Italy

"When is the artist’s immorality relevant to their art? And how should we respond to immoral artists? Honouring and Admiring the Immoral offers elegant, balanced, and occasionally, wonderfully personal answers to these questions . . . I urge anyone interested in art and morality, free speech, and social epistemology to treat this work as essential reading."

Daisy Dixon, The Philosophical Quarterly
