About this product

Product Information

Bell argues that contempt has an important role to play in confronting and addressing immorality, and in that respect is essential to moral relations. Her book is not just a defense of contempt, but an account of the virtues and vices of it, providing a model for thinking more generally about the negative emotions as a response to vice.

Reviews
"Bell's investigation of contempt in Hard Feelings is to be praised for its thoroughness, carefulness, creativeness and incisiveness. It is a very well argued monograph and if you are at all interested in ethics or moral psychology, you should read it."--Matthew Van Cleave, Metapsychology "I've read Bell's book on contempt with great interest and pleasure. Its central thesis is bold: Bell analyses contempt, and convincingly defines circumstances in which it is a morally appropriate emotion. The case she makes is original and very thoroughly argued, and it's clearly and accessibly written."--Ronald de Sousa, Department of Philosophy, University of Toronto "[Hard Feelings] is a good book, very much worth reading, clearly written, challenging, and stimulating of much thought."--Robert C. Roberts, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews "In Hard Feelings, Macalester Bell defends the moral value of contempt. She argues that sometimes contempt is the best moral response. We ought to feel contempt when others manifest certain vices of character. Bell's arguments are sharp and clearly presented. She makes a persuasive case that contempt has been misunderstood in the literature." -- Journal of Moral Philosophy, "Bell's investigation of contempt in Hard Feelings is to be praised for its thoroughness, carefulness, creativeness and incisiveness.
