Talk - Affective Polarization and the Aptness of Partisan Anger
On Friday 4th October, Sussex’s Centre for Social and Political Thought and Intellectual History and Sussex’s Philosophy Society will host Dr Jonathan Benson (University of Manchester) for a talk on “Affective Polarization and the Aptness of Partisan Anger” (abstract below).
The talk will be held in Arts A108 on the University of Sussex campus from 3.30pm-5pm.
All are welcome to attend.
Abstract: This paper challenges the predominant assessment of affective polarization as inherently harmful and unreasonable, arguing that partisan anger is often normatively appropriate. It shows that partisan identity is a potential source of reasonable emotions and considers the conditions under which affective polarization is more or less likely to be apt.
