Item Passion and Persuasion(Blackwell, 2009) Leighton, StephenItem Aristotle’s Exclusion of Anger from the Experience of Tragedy(Mathesis, 2003) Leighton, StephenItem Aristotle's Account of Anger: Narcissism and Illusions of Self-Sufficiency(Blackwell, 2002) Leighton, StephenThis paper considers an allegation by M. Stocker and E. Hegeman that Aristotle’s account of anger yields a narcissistic passion bedevilled by illusions of self-sufficiency. The paper argues on behalf of Aristotle’s valuing of anger within a virtuous and flourishing life, showing that and why Aristotle’s account is neither narcissistic nor involves illusions of self-sufficiency. In so arguing a deeper appreciation of Aristotle’s understanding of a self-sufficient life is reached, as are some interesting contrasts between Aristotle's understanding of anger, its connections to value and our own understanding of these matters.Item The Mean Relative to Us(ACADEMIC PRINTING AND PUBLISHING, 1995) Leighton, StephenItem The Value of Passions in Plato and Aristotle(Southwestern Philosophical Society, 1995) Leighton, Stephen
