Bennett, C. orcid.org/0000-0001-8084-1210 (2024) Should I get angry – or just take offence? A response to McTernan. Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy. pp. 1-8. ISSN: 1369-8230
Abstract
This paper is a response to Emily McTernan’s book, Taking Offence. I focus on how to evaluate taking offence comparatively against alternative attitudes such as anger or blame. Drawing on some of my work on blame, emotion and expressive action, I sketch a way in which we might reach a more convincing answer than that provided by McTernan.
