Présentation de l'éditeur :
"Pride goeth before destruction, a hoaughty spirit before a mighty fall." As the biblical fall of Satan suggests, pride as a defining symptom of self-preoccupation follows a paradoxical route at which end lies self-destruction. Dyson explores the fate of pride from Christian theology to the social responsibilities of self-regard and regard for the society as a whole. Pride is also vain glory, or the inordinate obsession with one's existence, body and intellect, which becomes the playground for human vanity. Dyson examines how pride, within black communities, becomes a necessary and ironic defense against a culture that at once formally rejected it in their vreligious beliefs but embraced it in their social realtions. As a result, blacks were ensconced, implicated, even embroiled, in the West's schizophrenic views of the deadly sin. Dyson will explore all these moments of pride, attempting to probe the contradictory facets of a vice that in some instances became a celebrated virtue, and a virtue among some cultures that ultimately became a vice.

Description du livre hardcover. Etat : new. 1. Of the seven deadly sins pride is the only one with a virtuous side It is certainly a good thing to have pride in ones country in ones community in oneself But when taken too far as Michael Eric Dyson shows in Pride these virtues become deadly sinsDyson named by Ebony magazine as one of the 100 most influential African Americans here looks at the many dimensions of pride Ranging from Augustine and Aquinas MacIntyre and Hauerwas to Niebuhr and King Dyson offers a thoughtful multifaceted look at this virtuous vice He probes the philosophical and theological roots of pride in examining its transformation in Western culture Dyson discusses how black pride keeps blacks from being degraded and excluded by white pride which can be invisible unspoken but nonetheless very powerful Dyson also offers a moving glimpse into the teachers and books that shaped his personal pride and vocation Dyson also looks at less savory aspects of national pride Since 911 he notes we have had to close ranks But the collective embrace of all things American to the exclusion of anything else has taken the place of a much richer much more enduring much more profound version of love of country This unchecked pride asserts the supremacy of America above all otherselevating our national beliefs above any moral court in the worldand attacking critics of American foreign policy as unpatriotic and even traitorousHubris temerity arrogancethe unquestioned presumption that ones way of life defines how everyone else should livepride has many destructive manifestations In this engaging and energetic volume Michael Eric Dyson one of the nations foremost public intellectuals illuminates this manysided human emotion one that can be an indispensable virtue or a deadly sin.
