Abstract

"Drawing upon a wide variety of authors, approaches, and ideological contexts, this book offers a comprehensive and detailed critique of the distinct and polemical senses in which the concept of ressentiment (and its cognate 'resentment') is used today. It also proposes a new mode of addressing ressentiment in which critique and polemics no longer set the tone. Contemporary tendencies in political culture such as neoliberalism, nationalism, populism,identity politics, and large-scale conspiracy theories have led to the return of the concept of ressentiment in armchair political analysis. This book argues that, due to the tension between its enormous descriptive power and its mutually contradicting ideological performances, it is necessary to 'redramatize' the concept of ressentiment. Inspired by Marxist political epistemology, affect theory, postcolonialism, and feminism, the book maps, delimits, and assesses four irreducible ways in which ressentiment can be articulated: the ways of the priest, the philosopher, the witness, and the diplomat. The first perspective is typically embodied by conservative (Scheler, Girard) and liberal (Smith, Rawls) political theory, the second by Nietzsche, Deleuze and Foucault, whereas the third is found in the writings of Améry, Fanon and Adorno, and the fourth is the author's own, albeit inspired by philosophers such as Ahmed, Stiegler, Stengers and Sloterdijk. In producing a dialectical sequence between all four typical modes of enunciation, the book seeks to answer the question by what right do we possess and use the concept of ressentiment, and what makes the phenomenon worth knowing? The Dialectic of Ressentiment will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in critical theory, social and political philosophy, cultural studies, sociology, history, literature, and anthropology. It will also appeal to anyone interested in (public debates on) the politics of anger, discourse ethics, trauma studies, and memory politics"--

Abstract

le ressentiment n'a pas bonne presse: "passion irrationnelle", "expression de l'impuissance", "envie déguisée" - les termes ne manquent pas dans l'histoire de la pensée pour disqualifier ce qui est apparu, au mieux. comme le sentiment d'un malaise. au pire comme un désir de vengeance rentrée des classes populaires à rencontre des élites. Trois caractéristiques du ressentiment sont alors généralement mises en évidence.D'abord. on souligne que c'est une passion spécifiquement moderne. qui n'est théorisée qu'au XIXe siècle parce qu'elle ne prospère pleinement que dans les sociétés de masse. Ensuite, on montre que c'est une tradition de pensée spécifique (Nietzsche puis Scheler) qui en a définitivement fixé le sens, la comprenant comme l'émotion des faibles incapables d'affirmer leur hostilité à l'encontre de ceux qui les dominent.On précise enfin que le ressentiment conduit à une subversion des valeurs morales, et qu'il gît au creux des passions politiques d'apparence émancipatrice: la vérité de la volonté d'égalité ou de justice serait une rancune honteuse. C'est à montrer les limites de cette interprétation que cet ouvrage est consacré. Il veut montrer que le ressentiment a une histoire. et que si l'on veut identifier la spécificité de ses manifestations contemporaines, il faut les mesurer à la manière dont la philosophie ancienne et la pensée classique ont thématisé les affects approchants.Il entend également construire une critique des interprétations traditionnelles, en montrant comment celles-ci ont tendu à simplifier la pensée nietzschéenne, et ce pour restituer à cette passion son éminente complexité. Il souhaite enfin organiser une analyse du dynamisme dont le ressentiment est l'expression. en mettant à profit la richesse que signifie en la matière une approche pluridisciplinaire.Car cette passion loin d'être seulement cette manifestation de l'impuissance à laquelle on a voulu la réduire. est réaction émotionnelle face à l'inachèvement de l'égalité dont nos sociétés démocratiques sont pourtant la promesse. Le ressentiment est création de valeurs, attention à la réciprocité, attachement à la justice. C'est une passion sociale qui exprime la puissance de l'affect dans la vie politique; c'est plus encore rune des formes.certes potentiellement pathologique, de l'élément affectif dont nos idéaux de liberté et d'égalité ont un irréductible besoin.

Abstract

We typically think of resentment as an unjustifiable and volatile emotion, responsible for fostering the worst political divisions. Recognizing Resentment argues instead that sympathy with the resentment of victims of injustice is vital for upholding justice in liberal societies, as it entails recognition of the equal moral and political status of those with whom we sympathize. Sympathizing with the resentment of others makes us alive to injustice in a way no rational recognition of wrongs alone can, and it motivates us to demand justice on others' behalves. This book rehabilitates arguments for the moral and political worth of resentment developed by three influential thinkers in the early liberal tradition - Joseph Butler, David Hume, and Adam Smith - and uses these to advance a theory of spectatorial resentment, discussing why we should be indignant about the injustice others face, and how such a shared sentiment can actually bring liberal citizens closer together.

Abstract

By the time of his death in 2006, Sir Peter Strawson was regarded as one of the world's most distinguished philosophers. First published thirty years ago but long since unavailable, Freedom and Resentment collects some of Strawson's most important work and is an ideal introduction to his thinking on such topics as the philosophy of language, metaphysics, epistemology and aesthetics. Beginning with the title essay Freedom and Resentment, this invaluable collection is testament to the astonishing range of Strawson's thought as he discusses free will, ethics and morality, logic, the mind-body problem and aesthetics. The book is perhaps best-known for its three interrelated chapters on perception and the imagination, subjects now at the very forefront of philosophical research. This reissue includes a substantial new foreword by Paul Snowdon and a fascinating intellectual autobiography by Strawson.

Abstract

In this compelling account of the "peasants' revolt" of 1381, in which rebels burned hundreds of official archives and attacked other symbols of authority, Steven Justice demonstrates that the rebellion was not an uncontrolled, inarticulate explosion of peasant resentment but an informed and tactical claim to literacy and rule. Focusing on six brief, enigmatic texts written by the rebels themselves, Justice places the English peasantry within a public discourse from which historians, both medieval and modern, have thus far excluded them. He recreates the imaginative world of medieval villagers--how they worked and governed themselves, how they used official communications in unofficial ways, and how they produced a disciplined insurgent ideology.--
