意外瀏覽到的東西 maybe是你之前在想的東西? 短短的，說不定有點clue ------------------ According to Montesquieu, fear is the principle of behavior appropriate to despotism, honor to a monarchy, and virtue to a republic. Nietzsche claimed that ressentiment is the motivational source of democracy and socialism. These claims provide a useful starting point for an examination of the role of the emotions, forms of character, and specific virtues and vices in political life. We examine the role of fear, not merely in despotism, but in its corrosive effect on the virtues necessary for democratic politics. We look at honor, and also its near neighbor, shame, both of which are as crucial to the practice of democracy as they are to monarchy. There is also a fascinating train of thought which relates the honor of women to the republican form of politics. The investigation of the moral life of politics range broadly, as far back as Ajax and as recently as Agamben, from the rape of Lucrece to honor killings amongst contemporary Moslems. As well as Montesquieu and Nietzsche, we look at Rousseau and Kant (also Homer, Sophocles, Shakespeare and Lessing). However, the main thrust of the course is to recuperate the role of emotions in contemporary political philosophy. --
