Is shame social? Is it superficial? Is it a morally problematic emotion?        Researchers in disciplines as different as psychology, philosophy, and anthropology        have thought so. But what is the nature of shame and why are claims regarding its        social nature and moral standing interesting and important? Do they tell us anything        worthwhile about the value of shame and its potential legal and political        applications?In this book, Julien A. Deonna, Raffaele Rodogno, and Fabrice Teroni        propose an original philosophical account of shame aimed at answering these        questions. The book begins with a detailed examination of the evidence and arguments        that are taken to support what they call the two dogmas about shame: its alleged        social nature and its morally dubious character. Their analysis is conducted against        the backdrop of a novel account of shame and ultimately leads to the rejection of        these two dogmas. On this account, shame involves a specific form of negative        evaluation that the subject takes towards herself: a verdict of incapacity with        regard to values to which she is attached. One central virtue of the account resides        in the subtle manner it clarifies the ways in which the subject's identity is at        stake in shame, thus shedding light on many aspects of this complex emotion and        allowing for a sophisticated understanding of its moral significance.This        philosophical account of shame engages with all the current debates on shame as they        are conducted within disciplines as varied as ethics, moral, experimental,        developmental and evolutionary psychology, anthropology, legal studies, feminist        studies, politics and public policy.
