Tracing the story of anger from the Buddha to Twitter, Rosenwein
provides a much-needed account of our changing and contradictory
understandings of this emotion All of us think we know when we are
angry, and we are sure we can recognize anger in others as well.
But this is only superficially true. We see anger through lenses
colored by what we know, experience, and learn. Barbara H.
Rosenwein traces our many conflicting ideas about and expressions
of anger, taking the story from the Buddha to our own time, from
anger's complete rejection to its warm reception. Rosenwein
explores how anger has been characterized by gender and race, why
it has been tied to violence and how that is often a false
connection, how it has figured among the seven deadly sins and yet
is considered a virtue, and how its interpretation, once largely
the preserve of philosophers and theologians, has been gradually
handed over to scientists-with very mixed results. Rosenwein shows
that the history of anger can help us grapple with it today.
