This chapter argues that anger is central to just education because in its righteous form it contains the promise of ending social, political, and economic injustice.

摘要

This chapter argues that anger is central to just education because in its righteous form it contains the promise of ending social, political, and economic injustice. However, because anger is either completely rejected or regarded only as a form of personal revenge by the major moral traditions, its adoption calls for a revaluation of its morality in higher education. The urgency here is amplified by the juxtaposition of docility (which is connected to the success of higher education under late capitalism) with righteous anger (which is connected in this chapter to its downfall). Depending on where one stands regarding the need for and urgency of eliminating injustice of all forms in higher education, anger will be something to be either supported or rejected.
