pride,shame, guilt: emotions of self assesment
Taylor engages with what little contemporary philosophical literature there is on the subject. That engagement is both insightful and well written providing us with conceptual tools that may lead to a better understanding of these moral emotions as 1) having a significant place in our lives, 2) that these moral emotions deserve more attention within moral thinking and theory, 3) that such tasks would entail that our moral lives would deepen in ways that reflect Aristotle's thought that it is easy to be angry, but it is hard to be so in the right way, to the right , person, at the right time. An excellent study of the moral emotions
