A radical examination of the place of passion in politics, this book argues that we cannot simply discard the idea of powerful emotions in politics simply because they can be dangerous: they are necessary, valuable, and indissoluble. It also provides the first few steps in putting passion back into politics.
Political theorists have long argued that passion has no place in the political realm where reason reigns supreme. But, is this dichotomy between reason and passion sustainable? Does it underestimate the indispensable role of passion in a fully democratic society? Drawing upon Plato, Rousseau, and contemporary feminist theorists, Cheryl Hall argues that passion is an essential component of a just political community and that the need to educate passion together with reason is paramount. Trouble with Passion provides a compelling defense of the crucial place of passion in politics.
