Article 2: Is Contempt Redeemable? by Ronald deSousa

Abstract: In this essay, I will focus on the two main objections that have been adduced against the moral acceptability of contempt: the fact that it embraces a whole person and not merely some deed or aspect of a person’s character, and the way that when addressed to a person in this way, it amounts to a denial of the very personhood of its target.de Sousa, Ronald. 2019.
