• Martha C. Nussbaum Political emotions

  why love matters for justice

  The author describes how her ideal society -one that aspires to justice and equal opportunity for all- can be achieved and sustained. She argues for activating people’s most powerful and positive emotions, especially compassion and love, and describes practices, rituals, celebrations and traditions that can be exploited to gain the emotional support of a nation. One approach that Nussbaum explores at length involves public ceremonies and public speeches.

• Martha C. Nussbaum The new religious intolerance

  overcoming the politics of fear in an anxious age

  "Why did Switzerland, a country of four minarets, vote to ban those structures? How did a proposed Muslim cultural center in lower Manhattan ignite a fevered political debate across the United States? Martha C. Nussbaum surveys such developments and identifies the fear behind these reactions. Drawing inspiration from philosophy, history, and literature, she suggests a route past this limiting response and toward a more equitable, imaginative, and free society."
