How can we derive pleasure from others' suffering? Portmann explores Schadenfreude, drawing on writers and thinkers such as Kant, Freud and Toni Morrison and challenging us to re-examine feelings about suffering, sympathy and justice.
Although many of us deny it, it is not uncommon to feel pleasure over the suffering of others, particularly when we feel that suffering has been deserved. The German word for this concept-Schadenfreude-has become universal in its expression of this feeling. Drawing on the teachings of history''s most prominent philosophers, John Portmann explores the concept of Schadenfreude in this rigorous, comprehensive, and absorbing study.
