Beskrivning
Wounded pride of the hero motivated one of the primal poems, pride of the angel caused his downfall and hubris of man cost him his expulsion from earthly paradise and the sale of his soul to the devil. Different forms of pride play a central role in many myths. This book conscientiously reviews the history of these emotions, literary recreations and philosophical approaches and accounts for their relevance in the contemporary world. It offers an original phenomenology of pride, which draws on preceding historical and analytical work, and a conceptual and musical speculation on the future of posthuman pride.

Recensioner i media

‘The analysis of the emotion of pride is approached with a masterful beauty, perfectly combining a double historical-hermeneutical and philosophical-phenomenological approach.’ - Sonia Rodríguez, Associate Professor of Philosophy, National University of Distance Education, Spain‘What a great book! Very well written, with clear ideas and masterfully developed. Also substantial and erudite. None of this prevents the author from using a subtle and ironic humor where it is appropriate and does not break the speech.’ - Mikel Gorriti, Ph.D. in Psychology, Basque Government‘Written in simple and rigorous language, this book traces the history of the emotion of pride and analyses its growing importance in contemporary cultural, social and political movements. An excellent book.’ - Juan Antonio Valor, former Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy, Complutense University of Madrid
