OverviewIs it good to be proud? We sometimes happily speak of being proud of our achievements, ethnicities and identities, yet pride is also often described as the most serious of the seven deadly sins. This edited collection of original essays examines pride from a variety of perspectives in philosophy, psychology, sociology and anthropology. The volume seeks to explore such topics as the nature of pride, its connection to other human emotions, whether it is a virtue or vice (or both), and what role it might play in both our intellectual and moral lives. Containing diverse voices and viewpoints, this book aims to illuminate the various and complex dimensions of pride. Full Product DetailsAuthor: J. Adam Carter , Emma C.

Typically maligned as vicious or sinful, this volume urges a more nuanced approach to understanding and appraising its many forms. The chapters draw widely on empirical psychology, virtue epistemology, Christian and Hindu religion, and liberatory social theory to examine how pride can both facilitate and corrupt our moral, social, and intellectual life. -- Ian Kidd, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, University of Nottingham This exciting new collection, addressing some of the most pressing questions about the nature, psychology, epistemology and ethics of pride, illustrates the vitality and significance of work in moral psychology. It includes studies of pride and its relation to humility, self-respect, religion and politics that are destined to have a lasting influence on future debates about these topics. -- Alessandra Tanesini, Professor of Philosophy at Cardiff University A timely addition to the academic literature, this is the most comprehensive and truly interdisciplinary collection available on the topic. A monumental contribution, a volume to be proud of. -- Dr. Ian Church, Visiting Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Hillsdale College This is a terrific and timely volume on pride. It addresses several key questions: Is pride a virtue or a vice? Can a person take pride in things she cannot control? Can she take pride in the accomplishments of other people? What does it mean to take pride in one's race? What is intellectual pride? Chock-full of engaging examples, this volume will be delightful reading for students and researchers alike. -- Heather Battaly, Professor of Philosophy at California State University, Fullerton Author InformationEmma C.
