The phenomenon of self-anger has been overlooked in the contemporary literature on emotion. This is a failing we should seek to remedy. In this paper I provide the first effort towards a philosophical characterization of self-anger. I argue that self-anger is a genuine instance of anger and that, as such, it is importantly distinct from the negative self-directed emotions of guilt and shame. Doing so will uncover a potentially distinctive role for self-anger in our moral psychology, as one of the strongest affective motivators for self-change.

关于对自己生气

自怒现象在当代情感文学中一直被忽视。这是我们应该寻求补救的失败。在本文中，我首次尝试从哲学上描述自我愤怒。我认为自我愤怒是愤怒的真实例子，因此，它与负罪感和羞耻感等负面的自我导向情绪很重要。这样做将揭示自我愤怒在我们的道德心理学中潜在的独特作用，它是自我改变的最强大的情感动机之一。
