SAENZ, María Jimena. Reconsidering Anger as a Political Emotion: On Martha Nussbaum’s Anger and Forgiveness. Diánoia [online]. 2017, vol.62, n.79, pp.217-226. ISSN 0185-2450.

This critical note examines Martha Nussbaum’s perspective on anger presented in her last book Anger and Forgiveness. Resentment, Generosity, Justice (2016). I place this book in the context of Nussbaum’s philosophical project in order to trace changes and continuities in her views on anger, and then I examine some criticisms that have been held against her proposal of a political culture based on humanizing emotions based on the vindication of anger.
