Understand uses of the concept

Anger is examined as passion, response to injustice, and risk of losing command of judgement. Criticizing it does not forbid firm action.

The passages help distinguish first impact, the assent that sustains it, and the resulting act. This sequence matters in Stoicism, while other traditions judge righteous anger, patience, and repair differently.

Lexical variants: colere, colère, anger, ira, οργ
