The trouble with passion : political theory beyond the reign of reason / Cheryl Hall. - New York : Routledge, 2005. - 1 online resource (xi, 159 pages)
Includes bibliographical references and index.
What about all those flags? : passion in politics -- The passions and the reasons : conceptualizing capacities -- Public reason, private passion : the trouble with passion in liberal political theory -- "The madness of Eros is the greatest of heaven's blessings" : Plato's passion for the good -- "A man who had no passions would be a very bad citizen" : Rousseau's passion for community -- "Our erotic knowledge empowers us" : passion and action in contemporary feminist theory -- Passion, politics, and democratic education.
Political theorists have long argued that passion has no place in the political realm where reason reigns supreme. But, is this dichotomy between reason and passion sustainable? Does it underestimate the indispensable role of passion in a fully democratic society? Drawing upon Plato, Rousseau, and contemporary feminist theorists, Cheryl Hall argues that passion is an essential component of a just political community and that the need to educate passion together with reason is paramount. Trouble with Passion provides a compelling defense of the crucial place of passion in politics.
