This work intends to study the status of some emotions in a practical environment.I shall focus specifically on two: anger and hatred. My #rst objective will be to showthat the distinction between the two is not as simple as might appear at #rst sight. "isis because, as I will show, anger and hatred appear to be neighboring emotions. It istherefore necessary to analyze them conceptually to pull aside the veils of appearanceand thus identify their relevant di!erences. My second objective is to show that theconceptual distinction I seek is not in pursuit of a merely analytical interest. I shallclaim that the conceptual di!erences here have a practical impact, especially in thepolitical environment, because anger and hatred should be dealt with di!erently in therealm of democracies
