The Grapes of Wrath and Scorn

Pascal Engel

Résumé

It is often said that we can have reasons for our emotions. But can such reasons be the basis for some form of knowledge? I attempt here to give a positive answer to this question, through an examination of two negative emotions, anger, and contempt. I suggest that these emotions are apt to deliver, albeit in an indirect way, a form of moral knowledge, and examine their expression in the writings of Jonathan Swift.
