“Anger and Revolutionary Justice,” will offer a close philosophical analysis of anger, and why it is of dubious value in life and the law, and then use that analysis to reflect on the role of non-anger in the work of Mohandas Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Nelson Mandela.

Speaker: Professor Martha Nussbaum, Ernst Freund Distinguished Service Professor of Law and Ethics, University of Chicago
