Deep dives
The concept of Rezontemann in Nietzsche's philosophy
Rezontemann is an emotional comportment or disposition of people who are impotent to act upon forces that are acting against them and their interests. The slave class takes vengeance on the strong by deploying morality as a weapon to make the strong feel guilty about their strength. Rezontemann gives rise to the totality of psychology in the broadest sense, infiltrating all institutions in the modern world. It is not reducible to a psychological trait, but rather a motor of history that deeply ramifies the social field.
