ABSTRACT

This article explores how a political philosopher who looks at crises of community through the lens of 'disgust', an emotion that is deeply involved in inequality in our society, but has not been adequately captured, should use his or her imagination. To do so, we reconstruct Nussbaum's (Martha C) concept of 'disgust', which has been used to value and apply 'emotions' in all areas of law, politics, philosophy, literature, and ethics. Specifically, it introduces how emotions intervene in social justice in the rational public sphere. Through Nussbaum's narrative insight into disgust, this study ultimately reconstructs disgust and discusses the political and philosophical implications of disgust as an irrational emotion that makes empathy and coexistence impossible. Finally, I propose the importance of 'emotion education' as an educational alternative.
