Envy is almost universally condemned and feared. But is its bad
reputation always warranted? In this book, Sara Protasi argues that
envy is more multifaceted than it seems, and that some varieties of
it can be productive and even virtuous. Protasi brings together
empirical evidence and philosophical research to generate a novel
view according to which there are four kinds of envy: emulative,
inert, aggressive, and spiteful. For each kind, she individuates
different situational antecedents, phenomenological expressions,
motivational tendencies, and behavioral outputs. She then develops
the normative implications of this taxonomy from a moral and
prudential perspective, in the domain of personal loving
relationships, and in the political sphere. A historical appendix
completes the book. Through a careful and comprehensive
investigation of envy's complexity, and its multifarious
implications for human relations and human value, The Philosophy of
Envy surprisingly reveals that envy plays a crucial role in
safeguarding our happiness.
