Emotions play a decisive role in shaping the political culture of democracy. Israeli-French sociologist Eva Illouz has explored how fear, resentment, anxiety, disgust, and love emerge from social conditions and influence democracy in widely discussed works, including The Emotional Life of Populism: How Fear, Disgust, Resentment, and Love Undermine Democracy and Explosive Emotions: How Modern Society Shapes What We Feel. In her lecture “Guilt, liberalism and the extreme right”, she revisits this subject with a focus on guilt, exploring the ways in which guilt has been made central to the liberal democratic cultures after World War II, and examining how the extreme right has interpreted and utilized the motive of guilt in its political agenda.
