{"product_id":"getting-even","title":"Getting Even","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this short and accessible book, distinguished philosopher and law professor Jeffrie Murphy proposes that vindictive emotions (anger, resentment, and the desire for revenge) actually deserve a more legitimate place in our emotional, social, and legal lives than we currently recognize, while forgiveness deserves to be more selectively granted.  Murphy grounds his views on careful analysis of the nature of forgiveness, a subtle understanding of the psychology of\n\u003cbr\u003eanger and resentment, and a fine appreciation of the ethical issues of self-respect and self-defense.  He also uses accessible examples from law, literature, and religion to make his points.  Providing a\n\u003cbr\u003enuanced approach to a proper understanding of the place of our strongest emotions in moral, political, and personal life, and using lucid, easily understood prose, this volume is a classic example of philosophical thinking applied to a thorny, everyday problem.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44156880519406,"sku":"9780195178555","price":61.94,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780195178555.jpg?v=1706222247","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/getting-even","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
