really liked it

I love Nussbaum. I had to re-read David Copperfield to fully appreciate the arguments about the concept of love in this book and re-visit Henry James. In a series of essays Nussbaum shows how the emotional and cognitive are entwined. She writes clearly and with passion and carefully constructed arguments. Philosophers should turn to literature to understand the emotions. A powerful book.
