Given Rogozinski's attention to the changing faces of hate, and the many ways in which the inquest and the test, let alone torture and persecution, are mobilized in its service, the book's resonances today are potent.\"--\u003cb\u003ePerry Zurn\u003c\/b\u003e, American University \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Rogozinski is enviably well- and widely-read, and his insights are remarkable.\"--\u003cb\u003eWalter Stephens\u003c\/b\u003e, Johns Hopkins University \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book works to uncover the logic of hatred, to understand how this affect manifests itself historically in persecution and terror apparatuses. More than a historical genealogy of persecution, \u003ci\u003eThe Logic of Hatred\u003c\/i\u003e shows what phenomenology can offer to historical understanding. Focusing on the witch-hunts waged in the fifteenth through seventeenth centuries, the first part of the book analyzes the techniques instigators used to designate and annihilate their targets: the search for diabolical stigma, the confession of \"truth\" extracted by torture, the constitution of an absolute Enemy through the suggestion of conspiracy, of a world turned upside-down, or the figure of Satan. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRogozinski locates one of the origins of the witch-hunt in the anguish that popular uprisings arouse in dominant classes. The second part of the book extends the investigation to related phenomena, such as the extermination of lepers in the Middle Ages and the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution. By studying these historical experiences and marking their differences and similarities, this book shows the passage from exclusion to persecution and how revolts of the oppressed can let themselves be transformed and captured by persecutory politics. The analyses presented thus shed light on conspiracy theory and the terror apparatuses of our time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eJacob Rogozinski\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at the University of Strasbourg.
