This review critiques Kurt Gray's Outraged!, a work exploring moral psychology and outrage culture. The review argues that Gray's central thesis—that morality stems from harm perception—is overly simplistic and ignores crucial aspects of morality. Furthermore, the review criticises the book's alleged overreliance on right-wing perspectives, contradictory messaging, and lack of practical solutions to the problems it identifies. Ultimately, the reviewer finds Outraged! engaging but ultimately superficial, offering more style than substance. The book is deemed a captivating but ultimately unsatisfying exploration of complex issues.
