Anger and Forgiveness is written by Martha C. Nussbaum and published by Oxford University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0199335893 (ISBN 10) and 9780199335893 (ISBN 13).

In this wide-ranging book, Martha C. Nussbaum, one of our leading public intellectuals, argues that anger is conceptually confused and normatively pernicious. It assumes that the suffering of the wrongdoer restores the thing that was damaged, and it betrays an all-too-lively interest in relative status and humiliation. Studying anger in intimate relationships, casual daily interactions, the workplace, the criminal justice system, and movements for social transformation, Nussbaum shows that anger's core ideas are both infantile and harmful.
