Hiding from Humanity: Disgust, shame, and the law

---

Hiding from Humanity: Disgust, Shame, and the Law explores the profound influence of moral emotions—particularly disgust and shame—on legal reasoning and societal norms. Martha C. Nussbaum critically examines how these emotions shape laws and public policies, often reinforcing exclusion, stigma, and injustice. The book argues that while emotions play an important role in moral judgment, disgust and shame are unreliable guides for creating fair legal systems because they are rooted in irrational fears and social hierarchies. Through philosophical analysis and legal case studies, Nussbaum advocates for a justice system grounded in human dignity, empathy, and rational compassion rather than emotional prejudice.
