| Abstract | Most of us tend to be Aristotelians when it comes to anger. While admitting that uncontrolled anger is harmful and ought to be avoided, we reject as undesirable a state of being that does not allow us to express legitimate outrage. Hence, we seem to find a compelling moral attitude in Aristotle’s belief that we should get angry at the right time and for the right reasons and in the right way. But the reasonableness of the Aristotelian stance should not blind us to the fact that, historically speaking, competing views on the subject exist. I want to explore one such alternative account of anger. Both Buddhism and Stoicism, I will argue, carve out a position on the issue of anger that stands in marked contrast to the Aristotelian conception. In this essay, I want to examine the similarities between the Buddhist and Stoic views of anger, contrast this stance with the much more common (at least in the West) Aristotelian one, and, finally, consider the objections of a prominent Western scholar to this shared Buddhist/Stoic conception. |
