Abstract

This article aims at offering an interpretation of the ideas and assumptions underlying Jean Amery’s ethics of resentment, and also at projecting his ideas into the contemporary debate on transitional justice. By engaging with Amery’s works this paper brings light to the different psychological, moral and temporal dimensions that underlie the processes of dealing with legacies of collective violence that continue to haunt democratic societies.
