But Christina Tarnopolsky argues that not every kind of shame hurts democracy. In fact, she makes a powerful case that there is a form of shame essential to any critical, moderate, and self-reflexive democratic practice. Through a careful study of Plato's Gorgias, Tarnopolsky shows that contemporary conceptions of shame are far too narrow. For Plato, three kinds of shame and shaming practices were possible in democracies, and only one of these is similar to the form condemned by contemporary thinkers. Following Plato, Tarnopolsky develops an account of a different kind of shame, which she calls "respectful shame." This practice involves the painful but beneficial shaming of one's fellow citizens as part of the ongoing process of collective deliberation. And, as Tarnopolsky argues, this type of shame is just as important to contemporary democracy as it was to its ancient form. Tarnopolsky also challenges the view that the Gorgias inaugurates the problematic oppositions between emotion and reason, and rhetoric and philosophy. Instead, she shows that, for Plato, rationality and emotion belong together, and she argues that political science and democratic theory are impoverished when they relegate the study of emotions such as shame to other disciplines. 606 $aShame$xPolitical aspects 606 $aDemocracy$xPhilosophy 610 $aAd hominem. 610 $aAllan Bloom. 610 $aAmbiguity. 610 $aAmbivalence. 610 $aAnger. 610 $aAristotle. 610 $aAthenian Democracy. 610 $aBernard Williams. 610 $aCallicles. 610 $aCatamite. 610 $aCharmides (dialogue). 610 $aChild abuse. 610 $aCivility. 610 $aConflation. 610 $aControversy. 610 $aCriticism. 610 $aCritique. 610 $aCrito. 610 $aDeliberation. 610 $aDemagogue. 610 $aDialectic. 610 $aDichotomy. 610 $aDirection of fit. 610 $aDisgust. 610 $aDisposition. 610 $aDistrust. 610 $aElitism. 610 $aEmbarrassment. 610 $aFalse-consensus effect. 610 $aForensic rhetoric. 610 $aForm of life (philosophy). 610 $aFreedom of speech. 610 $aGorgias (dialogue). 610 $aGorgias. 610 $aGrandiosity. 610 $aGregory Vlastos. 610 $aHannah Arendt. 610 $aHedonism. 610 $aHippias Major. 610 $aHuman Rights Watch. 610 $aHumiliation. 610 $aIdeology. 610 $aInference. 610 $aIrony. 610 $aJon Elster. 610 $aMcGill University. 610 $aMorality. 610 $aMultitude. 610 $aMyth. 610 $aNicomachean Ethics. 610 $aOmnipotence. 610 $aOn the Soul. 610 $aOstracism. 610 $aPathos. 610 $aPerversion. 610 $aPhaedo. 610 $aPhaedrus (dialogue). 610 $aPhenomenon. 610 $aPhilosopher. 610 $aPhilosophy. 610 $aPity. 610 $aPlato. 610 $aPleonexia. 610 $aPolitical philosophy. 610 $aPolitics. 610 $aPolus. 610 $aPrejudice. 610 $aPrinceton University Press. 610 $aProtagoras. 610 $aPsychoanalysis. 610 $aPsychotherapy. 610 $aPublic sphere. 610 $aPythagoreanism. 610 $aRationality. 610 $aReason. 610 $aReintegrative shaming. 610 $aRepublic (Plato). 610 $aResult. 610 $aRhetoric. 610 $aSelf-criticism. 610 $aSelf-deception. 610 $aSelf-esteem. 610 $aSelf-image. 610 $aShame. 610 $aSocial stigma. 610 $aSocratic (Community). 610 $aSocratic method. 610 $aSocratic. 610 $aSophism. 610 $aSophist. 610 $aSuffering. 610 $aSuggestion. 610 $aSymposium (Plato). 610 $aThe Philosopher. 610 $aTheory. 610 $aThought. 610 $aThrasymachus. 610 $aUncertainty. 610 $aVlastos. 610 $aVulnerability. 615 0$aShame$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aDemocracy$xPhilosophy. 676 $a170 700 $aTarnopolsky$b Christina H.$f1964-$01478523 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785060803321 996 $aPrudes, perverts, and tyrants$93694200 997 $aUNINA
