Beschreibung

The human body is the primary instrument of war, yet those waging war often confront soldiers' bodies in a detached or merely intellectual way. In The Tenderness of Silent Minds, Martha C. Nussbaum, a leading thinker on emotion, morality, and justice, conducts a pioneering study of Benjamin Britten's musical representations of the tender male body amidst the brutality of war, and their ability to transform consciousness by evoking potent, non-personal emotions.

A leading scholar of emotion and morality, she is the author of The Fragility of Goodness, Creating Capabilities, and Justice for Animals, among others, and has published hundreds of articles of monumental impact on the development of philospohy in the 20th and 21st centuries.
