The meaning of disgust

Book • 2011
Colin McGinn's 'The Meaning of Disgust' examines the emotion of disgust from a philosophical perspective, considering its moral, psychological, and cultural significance.

McGinn analyzes how disgust shapes judgment and social reactions, drawing on examples and conceptual analysis.

The book provoked strong critique for its arguments and style, including a widely-circulated critical review by Nina Strohminger.

While engaging with an important topic in emotion theory, it became notable both for its content and for the intensity of its public reception.

The book sits at the intersection of philosophy, psychology, and ethics.
