Anger, Rage, and Forgiveness

I join Robert Talisse on the “Why We Argue Podcast” to talk about the nature of anger and rage, and the role these emotions have in democratic politics. We also talk about forgiveness, and the need for healing to be preceded by an acknowledgement of wrongdoing.

ANGER AND PROTEST

I join BBC RADIO to discuss the role of anger, black lives matter, and violence.

THE ROLE OF ANGER

I join Monocle radio to discuss the role of anger in the fight for racial justice.

THE SKILL OF CONVERSATION
I join the Euclidations Podcast to talk with Matt Teichman about talking. What makes someone good at at, and what makes someone bad at it?  I run through some of what it takes to be a good conversationalist, in the hope that being our best selves while talking to one another can facilitate difficult conversations.

ANGER, FORGIVENESS, AND PUBLIC PHILOSOPHY

I join the Why We Argue Podcast to talk with Professor Robert Talisse about anger, forgiveness, and pubic philosophy.


FORGIVENESS AND EXEMPLARS

I join the Examining Ethics Podcast to talk about the ethics of convincing victims to forgive. I claim that when people try to persuade victims to forgive, using moral exemplars alone to convince them is wrong. The episode is based on “Forgiveness, Exemplars, and the Oppressed.

LOVE & POLITICS

I join the Labels of Love Podcast w/ Carrie Jenkins  to talk about love’s place in politics, love’s relationship to anger, and whether love is truly “all we need.”

BELL HOOKS

I join Mark, Seth, and Dylan of the Partially Examined Life to reflect on how hooks’s prescriptions address today’s social problems and how they relate to philosophical views of human nature and freedom. In Part 2, we talk about black feminist “essentialism” (i.e., a single narrative of oppression) and how that relates to bell hooks’s project of media critique.
