Some remarks on unfocused hatred: Identity of the hated one and criteria of adequacy

Thomas Szanto has recently argued that hatred could not be a fitting emotion because of its blurred focus. It thus cannot trace the properties intentional object. Although I agree with core Szanto?s account, would like to discuss two connected issues might importance. First, want address whether unfittingness anything do possibility hated person does identify what they are for. conclude if focus is blurred, identification or group. Next, propose (certain) criteria adequacy (why someone treated by members society as hateworthy) embedded in cultural and social framework such way necessarily intelligibly justified their relation import it has. Under circumstances, still being unfitting, these create quasi-correctness (actually, hateworthy). If this correct, will enable us keep thesis fitting. At same time, we use political vocabulary tackle common cases when group give up commitment argue some people under hating group?s own criteria.
