It is shaped by the defining questions raised by the Holocaust and its aftermath, and sustained by the values and aspirations of the philosophy and practice of nonviolence. Its thesis is that shame is a significant moral emotion of our times, and that an understanding of shame attunes us, paradoxically, to both our morality and immorality. Feminist theory's critique of claims to objectivity and neutrality has challenged me to look for a new mode of presenting vital scholarly information. Toward that end--to ground theory in testimony, reflection in lived experience--I have turned to my own life as case study. |
