Synopsis

The talk of "resentment" is inflationary in today's society file. Politology, literature and cultural studies also like to use the term. There is often talk of resentment, where it could simply be envy, hate or resentment. Does the term have more to offer than the reputation of a foreign word? Is resentment even a key cultural mood that holds frightening insights about us? Jürgen Große answers these questions in an unconventional way. He researches the history of the concept of resentment, but also the needs that it satisfies to this day. The study is systematically and historically. The first part discusses the theories of some resentment classics. The second part explores the function of resentment thought from early modern moralistics to the German present day. "Resentment", so becomes increasingly clear, stands for the paradoxical promise of a majority, socially peaceful citizenship.
