Table of ContentsAcknowledgements Introduction Chapter One: This is Awkward Chapter Two: Feeling Awkward Chapter Three: Awkward, Socially Chapter Four: Morally Awkward Problems Chapter Five: Awkward Silence Chapter Six: The Importance of Being Awkward BibliographyReviewsWe naturally want to avoid awkwardness and turn away in its presence. Plakias stares at it with intense and generous attention and refuses to turn away. In exploring its every aspect, she gives us a book that is philosophically rich, original, and ethically wise. I am glad that this impressive account of awkwardness is so adroit. * Nick Riggle, author of This Beauty: A Philosophy of Being Alive * A brilliant and timely investigation of an under-investigated topic, Awkwardness is as thoughtful as it is graceful. Spanning topics from the nature of awkwardness to its less-noticed moral implications, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in moral psychology as well as social and political philosophy. * Kate Manne, author of Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny * Author InformationAlexandra Plakias is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Hamilton College. She grew up in New York City and received her PhD from the University of Michigan.
