The primary object of this book is to discuss certain problems of mind and matter-particularly the relation between the mind and the brain-simply as questions of psychology and physiology, without regard to the bearing they may have on philosophical doctrines. Still, all such questions lie so deeply at the root of the latter, that it is impossible to discuss the one without regarding the effect they have upon the other. Hence, I have not hesitated to enter into the doctrine of Materialism so far as it is affected by the conclusions arrived at. Such questions as the relation of the mind to the body constitute the foundation of Spiritualism and Materialism. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2005 APA, all rights reserved).

Attentats terroristes, crimes monstrueux, délits cyniques, actes barbares, injustices sociales, erreurs judiciaires... Nous vivons le temps des assassins. Nous vivons le temps des indignations. Quitte à ce que, à trop ou mal s'indigner, nos sociétés démocratiques risquent toutes les contradictions. Quitte à ce qu'elles ne sachent plus distinguer entre le fait de prendre conscience et le fait de prendre parti. Entre l'indignation critique qui fonde la dignité et l'indignation feinte qui, vivant de la posture, meurt de l'imposture. Entre l'absence de reconnaissance envers les victimes et l'abus de considération envers les victimes. À l'heure où les idéologies déforment en l'amplifiant jusqu'au ressentiment le sentiment de révolte, à l'heure où une certaine culture contemporaine met en péril la figure même de l'homme, à l'heure où chacun cherche à rabaisser l'autre en une surenchère de protestations qui occultent les maux supposément dénoncés, Jean-François Mattéi s'insurge contre les fausses insurrections. En donnant, de Platon à Hannah Arendt, une authentique leçon de philosophie qui éclaire de manière fulgurante la crise morale que nous traversons. Car il est temps que l'indignation change de camp. Et plus que temps que nous en retrouvions le bon usage.

The Moral Psychology of Anger' is the first comprehensive study of the moral psychology of anger from a philosophical perspective. In light of the recent revival of interest in emotions in philosophy and the current social and political interest in anger, this collection provides an inclusive view of anger from a variety of philosophical perspectives. The authors explore the nature of anger, explain its resilience in our emotional lives and normative frameworks, and examine what inhibits and encourages thoughts, feelings, and expressions of anger. The volume also examines rage, anger's cousin, and examines in what ways rage is a moral emotion, what black rage is and how it is policed in our society; how berserker rage is limited and problematic for the contemporary military; and how defenders of anger respond to classical and contemporary arguments that expressing anger is always destructive and immoral. 0This volume provides arguments for and against the value of anger in our ethical lives and in politics through a combination of empirical psychological and philosophical methods. This authors approach these questions and aims from a historical, phenomenological, empirical, feminist, political, and critical-theoretic perspective.
