Reviews
What are the roles of the passions and emotions in political life? The contributors to Bringing the Passions Back In answer this timely question by carefully rereading the classic theorists and showing how they help us see the many complex and formative roles the passions play, yet which tend to be overlooked in contemporary political thought. This is an important contribution to an expanding field of political theory and philosophy.
–James Tully, co-editor of Rethinking the Foundations of Modern Political Theory
One of contemporary political theory’s greatest weaknesses is its neglect of the role of passion and emotion in politics. This volume illustrates the ways in which sophisticated thinking about the relationship between reason and passion can contribute to democratic theory. Its breadth – spanning classical, medieval, modern, and contemporary theories – is truly impressive.
–Cheryl Hall, author of The Trouble with Passion: Political Theory Beyond the Reign of Reason
