  • Anger is appropriate in the moment and to the degree that it drives away a threat.

    The fact that a supposedly wise professor should suggest that anger is fundamentally counter productive is perfectly in line with many other domination narratives.

    It is an insidious strategy amount feminists to castigate all expression of anger because it is the fundamental tool by which men ward off the gaslighting abuse of deceptive and manipulating women.

    Get away from me you ravenous and too-little self-aware beast!

  • "Anger is popular"? Anger contains a "pleasant hope" for retribution, punishment? Not the recognition and correction, re-balancing, of transgression?
    Ahimsa was about non-anger, not non-violence?
    The furyes were not the only cthonic forces operating in Greek religion. Hubris and Nemesis seem more apposite to her theory of "status" transgression and restoration.
    There is a "pleasant hope" in her race-centric focus of anger. A hope that it would translate well to the problems of Jews and Muslims in Israel/Palestine.
    I much prefer a theory I've heard is attributed to Adam Smith the philosopher/economist. Beneficence – do good to others. Justice -punishment of others. Justice was "required" in order for the catharsis of anger (resentment and hate) back to beneficence. The question then becomes if the punishment not only fits the crime, but if it fits the trangressor and the transgressed. That question, today, is decided by democratic governments. So it must further be asked if democratic governments are doing a good job of making and enforcing the laws of internal justice; or if they are distracted by economics and foreign entanglements so as to neglect justice. Justice within reflects justice outside, or as Jesus put it: "take the beam out of your eye…" before remarking on the mote in another's eye.

  • Придите ко мне все труждающиеся и обременённые, и я успокою вас.

    Возьмите иго моё на себя и научитесь от Меня, что я кроток и смирен сердцем, и найдёте покой душам вашим, ибо иго моё благо, и бремя моё легко.

    Глубокое значение этого.

    Всё беспокойство только от несмирения.

    Если быть готовым ко всякому унижению, то какое спокойствие!

    И как легко! и научитесь от Меня, ибо я кроток и смирен, унижен сердцем.

    Будьте смиренны, и тогда только найдёте покой душам вашим.

  • Well, after watching the entire lecture, I have a query.
    What is she drinking at 56:25?

  • I would love to hear the professor discuss the butterfly effect which has to do with chaos theory. Natural Law is the only true law which requires righteous anger. As above, so below, it cannot be prevented but only delayed. Debt ( negative) must and always is repaid ( positive)

  • Also, why think that anger excludes the possibility to think also about the pain and not just about the social status?

    @sofalvarez 23 de junho de 2026 02:12 Responder
  • I don't think anger never comes with that wish to sympathize with others. And sometimes is a useful resource to communicate our own boundaries. And sometimes it works. Are there "types" of anger? …

  • Why are there so many ad hominem comments here? I have read Nussbaum, took a course with her, and read some of her work closely and critically. If one has an argument against what she says here, then it should be given, not stupid comments about accents and ignorant comments about her supposed haughtiness.

  • MsNussbaum is a pontificator, moralism is not logical but appealing to emotio. It is ridiculous to say that anger is aifight or flight mechanism, No anger is the reaction when the gulf between expectation and reality. It is an ontolgical issue. Aristotle was inapable of understanding this and neither is MsNussbaum

  • this could be summed up: anger is not in your best interest, it is a flawed/irrational concept.
