In this episode of Daybreak, we delve into the troubling psychological condition Nietzsche termed ‘ressentiment’, a condition involving toxic, vengeful anger. The discussion considers a paper by Andrew Huddleston, which considers several real-world examples of ressentiment including the Isla Vista tragedy of 2014 and the Charlottesville rally of 2017.Joining us in the studio, Andrew develops Nietzsche’s framing of ressentiment into a modern, free-standing theory and unearths its relevance for contemporary social dynamics. With Andrew Cooper, Eileen John, and Timothy Stoll, Andrew discusses the hidden forces that shape grievance, power struggles, and transformation in our world today. Here’s a link to Andrew's paper.Production: Appu Kalambettu
