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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBendik-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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMisty 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. \u003ci\u003eNussbaum's Politics of Wonder\u003c\/i\u003e is an important contribution to the philosophy of wonder and is crucial for understanding the work of a leading philosopher.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeremy Bendik-Keymer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 135029361X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350293618\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/25\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Jeremy Bendik-Keymer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46024876720383,"sku":"9781350293618","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f1ce7206-a995-4427-837f-c876173d6a0f.jpg?v=1723129431","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nussbaums-politics-of-wonder-jeremy-bendik-keymer-9781350293618","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
