We are living in a time of great fear. Fear is by no means unique to our times, but it is certainly a looming presence now. As an experience that is so in the forefront of our minds, fear has been written about extensively. Some theorists have urged the need to fear less. Others have pointed to the need to stop fearing some things or to start fearing different ones. Still others call out external forces, political or otherwise, that manipulate individuals into feeling more fearful. All these responses identify something wrong with such fears and provide correctives. This book aims to change the conversation. The Introduction outlines how the book will move beyond suggestions of how we ought to fear differently, instead urging us to accept that fears exist and understand them as a central part of our moral lives. |
