Reviews
This impressive collection of scholarships on shame, seen through a diversity of cultural lens, is a must read for anyone who is interested in gaining a wider perspective on the subject beyond the standard account in the West. Louise Sundararajan, PhD, Independent Scholar This book offers a brilliant survey of how shame is understood in diverse non-western traditions in the comparative light of contemporary global theory. Beyond conventional western definitions of shame, this volume extends meanings and values of shame through introducing theories and embodied practices from trans-cultural perspectives, and Asian and comparative analysis. Jea Sophia Oh, PhD, Associate Professor of Philosophy, West Chester University of Pennsylvania This volume poses the question: what can we learn about shame by exploring it in a wide variety of cultural contexts? Such an exploration demonstrates the nuances of a complex emotion. The essays invite readers to reimagine theoretical boundaries that are often put in place by those of us who are steeped primarily in the Western tradition. The volume is a great help to anyone who wants to enlarge the conversation about the place of shame in moral psychology. Krista K. Thomason, PhD, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Swarthmore College
