Philosophy Professor’s Book Earns Top Award
Professor and Chair of Philosophy, Dr. Noell Birondo, is recipient of Choice magazine’s 2022 Outstanding Academic Title award for The Moral Psychology of Hate. This prestigious award reflects the best in scholarly titles reviewed by Choice, the premier academic library review periodical. The award is quite selective and is awarded to approximately ten percent of some 6,000 works reviewed in Choice each year.
The Moral Psychology of Hate (Rowman & Littlefield, 2022) provides the first systematic introduction to the moral psychology of hate, compiling specially commissioned essays by an international team of scholars with a wide range of disciplinary orientations. In light of the recent revival of interest in emotions in academic philosophy and the current social and political interest in hate, this volume provides arguments for and against the value of hate through a combination of empirical and philosophical methods. The authors examine hate not merely as a destructive feeling but as an emotion of great moral significance that illuminates how we understand each other and ourselves. The book will be of major interest to anyone concerned with the dynamics and the moral and political implications of this most powerful of human emotions.
Congratulations to Dr. Birondo!
