{"product_id":"the-moral-psychology-of-amusement-brian-robinson-9781786613295","title":"The Moral Psychology of Amusement","description":"Amusement is an emotion with power. It has the power to make us laugh, but it can also have a power over us (for good or for ill) to control our attention or memory. Amusement can empower our resistance to oppression, or it can itself become an oppressive force. Our amusement can make others feel shame. Amusement even has the power to affect (and be affected by) out moral assessment of others. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume offers twelve essays from leading and emerging scholars that explore the moral quagmire that is the emotion of amusement. It is a collection that considers the moral psychology of amusement from a range of perspectives, going as far back as ancient Chinese and Greek philosophy up to the most current psychological and sociological findings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brian Robinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786613298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786613295\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/12\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2022","brand":"Brian Robinson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43993122537727,"sku":"9781786613295","price":111.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a3ead5f1-7110-429c-8209-ba9cb7729c98.jpg?v=1683322639","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-moral-psychology-of-amusement-brian-robinson-9781786613295","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
