The Tyranny of Hate, the Roots of Antisemitism: Memsheleth Sadon - Tapa dura

This volume deals with the subject of hatred as examined in Constantin Brunner's philosophical opus "The Doctrine of the Spiritual Elite and the Multitude". The psychological part of the book demonstrates that hatred is based on human judgment which is the continued expression of interest in self-maintenance. In the larger, practical part of the text, the author meets head on the open and veiled prejudices perpetrated by the Germans against the Jews. However, the main theme is human hatred, though it is studied here on the historical example of pandemic antisemitism. The author's scientific radicalism is controversial, and should interest societies of human rights, progressive religious groups, Jewish institutions, university libraries, and the general reader as well as psychologists and sociologists.
