| description | This paper looks at Thomas Szanto’s theory of hatred that suggests that
hatred has an indeterminate affective focus and that it derives its
intensity from the commitment to the attitude itself. Contrary to Szanto’s
theses, this paper claims that the hated properties are not necessarily
fuzzy. On the contrary, in many cases we can clearly reconstruct the
quasi-rational genesis of hatred, by relying on the deep structures behind
the social dynamics (as demonstrated by the example of anti-Semitism).
Furthermore, the paper states that even though in certain cases hatred is a
truly empty of content, these cases are marginal in comparison to other,
more important forms of hatred. |
