Nussbaum’s Politics of Wonder: How the Mind’s Original Joy Is Revolutionary

Autor Professor Jeremy Bendik-Keymer Ilustrat de Misty Morrison
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 iul 2024
In an unconventionally written book that challenges the literary imagination of its readers, Jeremy Bendik-Keymer explores how wonder is central to Martha C. Nussbaum's normative project. Nussbaum's work is opposed to the emotional and political conditions of 'narcissism' - the tendency to seek to control the wills of others in order to defend oneself against perceived vulnerabilities. Our capacity for wondering is important for growing beyond narcissism. Bendik-Keymer elaborates a politics of wonder that is consistent with understanding this idea. Taking issue with understandings of wonder viewing it as an emotion of surprise or delight, he develops an alternate tradition finding wonder in concert with the freedom of imagination found by degrees within much of human understanding. The result is a constructive rereading of Nussbaum's oeuvre, surprising for how it disencumbers her work of some falsehoods surrounding anxiety and anger and for the ways it implies an egalitarian politics of relational autonomy more socialist than liberal. Misty Morrison's visual inquiry accompanies the book creating space for the reader to wonder. Morrison paints and prints how families involve wonder, starting with moments in her child's life when she wonders what they might see. Nussbaum's Politics of Wonder is an important contribution to the philosophy of wonder and is crucial for understanding the work of a leading philosopher.

Recenzii

A very timely call for the revival of politics through our ability to wonder, Jeremy Bendik-Keymer's book proves that philosophy should have a robust place in public life.
Nussbaum's Politics of Wonder is the first book to notice and develop the crucial importance of wonder to Nussbaum's political philosophy. At one stroke, it makes an important contribution to Nussbaum scholarship and a novel contribution to the ongoing recovery of the political importance of wonder.
In an individual voice, but with a wide range of reference that includes literature, music, and film, Bendik-Keymer has more than vindicated Plato's saying that philosophy begins in wonder. He explores what wonder means, why it should inform our lives, and how it can inspire a new vision of politics.
