On the politics of emotions and emotionalism.
Philosopher Nina Power (an editor and columnist at Compact Magazine) kicks off this series by talking to us about anger, hate, and evil.
- Do we complain too little or too much? Should we be more repressed?
- Political passions were meant to be dead. Has anger overtaken apathy?
- Should we hate our enemies? Is that okay?
- Has contemporary society become hysterical?
- Why does everyone want to be a victim today? How does this relate to self-interest?
- Is evil a psychological concept?
