IN DEFENSE OF HATRED – a review

In Defense of Hatred by C.B. Robertson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


An honest and compelling argument that makes an essential point about social and culture discourse in our present climate. Hatred is not the antithesis of love, but a vital and required component.


The author describes hate as “an expression of love” and cautions of the dangers of a culture that stigmatizes or removes justified hatred, as one that approaches social nihilism and hopelessness.


Well written and rich with examples from classical and contemporary literature paints an elegant picture of the presented argument and makes for a fast and enjoyable read. Highly recommended.
