Opis

Shame is a Jekyll-and-Hyde emotion-it can be morally valuable, but it also has a dark side. Thomason presents a philosophically rigorous and nuanced account of shame that accommodates its harmful and helpful aspects. Thomason argues that despite its obvious drawbacks and moral ambiguity, shame's place in our lives is essential.

Recenzje

This is an elegant and original account of shame, with a striking explanatory power. Thomason shows with style how even the darkest features of shame have and deserve a place in our moral life. Naked is a must-read for anyone interested in ethics, the moral emotions, and moral psychology.
