When is anger justified? A philosophical inquiry - Delaney Thull

Explore different philosophers’ ideas about anger and dig into their theories on how we should handle this complicated emotion.

--

Anger is a complicated emotion. It can feel reasonable and righteous or impulsive and uncontrollable. Anger can be an important part of letting us know when something immoral is happening, but finding the right response to those psychological alarm bells can be tricky. So, is it ever right to be angry? And if so, when? Delaney Thull takes a philosophical look at this powerful emotion.
