RT Article T1 Zorn und Sanftmut JF Journal of ethics in Antiquity and Christianity VO 2 SP 6 OP 24 A1 Fritz, Martin 1973- LA German PB Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz YR 2020 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1737575019 AB The „emotional turn“ that has taken place in philosophy and cultural studies since the 1980ies has inspired a renaissance ofinquiry around the role of feeling in philosophical ethics. This development is partly intertwined with the renaissance ofstudy concerning the ethics of virtue. Both of these developments, however, have also been influenced by important contributions from Classical and Enlightenment philosophy. While focusing on one specific issue in the psychology of morals,namely the problem of how to negotiate the affect of anger, this essay demonstrates the broader contemporary relevance ofClassical ethics and its Enlightenment reception. The focus is on the extensive reflections on the virtue of „Sanftmut“ (gentleness) in the largely forgotten ethical works of some of the most important representatives of German Enlightenment:Christian Wolff, Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten, and Georg Friedrich Meier.
