About this product

Product Information

What is it in human nature that sometimes makes us derive pleasure from the suffering of others? In this original and provocative book, John Portmann explores this all-too-human foible - what Germans call Schadenfreude . Disagreement about suffering - what it is, who deserves it, and how much - has compelled philosophers for centuries. Portmann examines the complexity inherent in Schadenfreude , engaging philosophers such as Kant and Nietzsche, thinkers and writers including Freud, Baudelaire, Dickens, and even contemporary novelists Umberto Eco and Toni Morrison. When Bad Things Happen to Other People makes a vital contribution to philosophy, human behaviour and ethics, and challenges us to re-examine our feelings about suffering, sympathy and the ambiguity of justice.

Book arrived on time, well packed and as described but beware offer of free postage does not include packing which would appear to be £2 as the book is clearly labelled as £1.50 - see photo

I paid £3.62 for a book in “used-very good” condition. The book arrived in very poor condition with a price label of £1.50 on the front cover! I contacted the seller and was issued a full refund in minutes. Hence the positive feedback.
