Description
Wrath is the most emphatic, most affirmative way of saying ‘no.’ No other passion is as vehement—indeed, wrath seems to entail the uprising of a person’s entire physical and moral potentialities. More often than not, wrath would appear to lead to a simulacrum of aggression rather than to an actual aggressive act, apparently with no conscious, stoic determination on our part. Wrath can undo us, strengthen us, free us from submission. But can we possibly be free from wrath? Can this beast ever be fully tamed? These are but some of the questions addressed in this engaging treatise on wrath, the final piece in a seven-volume series on the deadly sins.
