Więcej o książce

The exploration of offence as a significant emotion challenges the notion that being easily offended is trivial or detrimental. This book argues for the positive social value of taking offence, particularly as a response to unequal social relations. It defends the importance of reacting to seemingly minor offences, such as offensive jokes and social media interactions, highlighting their role in resisting injustice. By addressing the nuances of civility and the implications of offence in contemporary discourse, it repositions offence-taking as a crucial aspect of social dynamics.
