This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century German philosopher, sociologist of knowledge, and phenomenologist, Max Scheler's work Ressentiment, which provides an interpretation of Friedrich Nietzsche's concept of that same name. It focuses on Scheler's analysis of two main sources of ressentiment, namely the desire for revenge, on the one hand, and envy, jealousy, and the competitive impulse. There are other affects that can figure into ressentiment as well, that Scheler identifies, such as hatred, malice, spite, the urge to detract, and schadenfreude.
