Stephen Darwall (Yale): "The Wages of Contempt". Öffentlicher Abendvortrag
Much of our contemporary politically fractured condition throughout the West can be seen as the result or “wages” of contempt or imagined contempt. Mutually reinforcing causes have led to authoritarian political movements mobilized through contempt from “below” as a response to actual or imagined contempt from “above” (liberal intellectual and social elites). These forces include globalization, the loss of good working-class jobs, the undermining of “public reason” and publicly recognized expertise by cyber-balkanization, anti-intellectualism, nativism, and reactionary trends in response to civil rights, affirmative action, the women’s movement, gay, and transgender rights. I seek to begin to understand this phenomenon through an understanding of the toxic emotion of contempt and its reciprocal, shame.
