Beskrivning
Few emotions have divided opinion as deeply as shame. Some scholars have argued that shame is essentially a maladaptive emotion used to oppress minorities and reinforce stigmas and traumas, an emotion that leaves the self at the mercy of powerful others. Other scholars, however, have argued that the absence of a sense of shame in a subject—their shamelessness—is tantamount to a vicious moral insensitivity. As the eleven original chapters in this collection attest, however, shame scholars are entering a new phase, one in which scholarship no longer attempts to defend one side of shame against the other, but rather accepts both faces as faithful to the phenomenon to be explained.At the core of our understanding of shame there are profound disagreements about the importance of the Other in shaping our moral identity. As this collection shows by its study of shame, the difficulty of the connection between Self, Other, and morality spans over millennia and cultures and currently animates important debates at the core of feminism and disability studies. against the other, but rather accepts both faces as faithful to the phenomenon to be explained.

This collection brings together philosophers and psychologists to review the contemporary psychological literature on shame, discuss it from a variety of philosophical traditions, and consider different controversies. Issues addressed include whether shame is overall beneficial or detrimental to human life, whether it is inherently interpersonal or intrapersonal, whether it requires a great deal of self-consciousness, and whether it has a common cross-cultural core or differs radically across different cultures and groups. Both because of the different ways to conceptualize shame and related phenomena and the different ways there are of measuring it, disagreements can appear at first blush larger and more intractable than they really are. Something beneficial or detrimental that one school or thinker ascribes to shame another might ascribe to guilt or some other emotion. Indeed, it is not always clear whether theorists are disagreeing about the same thing or discussing two different things. Given how eclectic this collection is, it is unlikely to serve as a primary course text for many classes, but it may serve as a supplement for many classes in both philosophy and psychology. Recommended. Advanced students.
