Martha C. Nussbaum Political emotions

why love matters for justice

The author describes how her ideal society -one that aspires to justice and equal opportunity for all- can be achieved and sustained. She argues for activating people’s most powerful and positive emotions, especially compassion and love, and describes practices, rituals, celebrations and traditions that can be exploited to gain the emotional support of a nation. One approach that Nussbaum explores at length involves public ceremonies and public speeches.
