Summary

Peter Toohey: Jealousy

While newspaper articles consider this topic in a predominantly sensationalist way, looking only at the aspects and sometimes deadly consequences of sexual jealousy, Peter Toohey argues in this charmingly provocative book that jealousy is much more than the destructive feeling we usually assume. Sometimes it helps, but much more often it harms.
The book deals with the meaning, history and values of jealousy, focusing on its consequences on modern culture and creativity. In his eclectic approach, psychology, art and literature, neuroscience, anthropology and a number of other disciplines are intertwined that can help overcome domestic violence, mobbing, animal violence and various forms of psychopathology.
In a wide range from London to the Pacific islands, from classical civilizations to today, this is an elegant, smart and beautifully illustrated plea about the not always mortal sin of jealousy.

Peter Toohey builds an entertaining and well-argued story about jealousy as the cause of a large part of our experience of the modern world and emotional life, as well as the share of the concept of jealousy in literature, legal processes and everyday existence, perhaps greater than we realize.

Diane Johnson, New York Review of Books

The book by Peter Toohey, professor of classical sciences, is a powerful undertaking to present this significant, elusive and complex feeling, as well as its contradictory role in human life, in all its various aspects and types. The author of such an ambitious and exciting study tries first of all to determine, in fact, to redefine the concept of jealousy. He expands and deepens its usual meaning in science and in everyday life. Ljubomora, smatra Toohey, obuhvaća i osjećaj zavisti i ne može se svesti samo na seksualnu ili romantičnu ljubomoru, koja je samo jedna, istina najrasprostranjenija vrsta ovog osjećaja.
