Nussbaums normative project. Nussbaums 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. Bendik-Keymer elaborates a politics of wonder that is consistent with understanding this idea. He takes issue with understandings of wonder viewing it as an emotion of surprise or delight, and 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 Nussbaums 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 Morrisons 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 childs life when she wonders what they might see. Nussbaums Politics of Wonder is an important contribution to the philosophy of wonder and is crucial for understanding the work of a leading philosopher.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781350076075\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Professor JeremyBendik-Keymer","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44761450905850,"sku":"9781350076075","price":96.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1699624081995_book.jpg?v=1699778545","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/nussbaums-politics-of-wonder-how-the-minds-original-joy-is-revolutionary-9781350076075","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
