That this is so is in fact suggested by work done during the fifties by the psychologist and (unjustly neglected) theorist of the emotions, Magda Arnold. On Arnold's account, what I am calling "emotional inference" (she calls it "emotional conditioning") necessarily wildly overgeneralizes. Childhood experiences convinced me that everyone who resembles my older brother will bully me: thus I have nearly phobic reactions to authority figures. This is just the sort of mechanism that can explain racial prejudices and rationally groundless fears. See Magda B. Arnold, Emotion and Personality (New York: Columbia University Press, 1960), 1:182-86.

Perhaps I should mention that, during the antishame decade of the sixties, a new phrase began to come into use, 'guilt-tripping' someone. Of course, guilt, like fear, jealousy, and every other emotion, can be manipulatively induced in others. My point is that, as Nussbaum would probably agree, this strategy is more readily available in the case of shame. Psychologically, shame seems to be closely related to the experience of being beheld by others. Perhaps shame is seeing oneself as an unworthy or repellent object of beholding by (actual or hypothetical) other people.

Nietzsche would claim that it is no coincidence that Wagner and Dickens, who were preeminent among the artistic representatives of the compassion tradition, were also open and vitriolic anti-Semites. In the nineteenth century, the figure of the cold-hearted, exploiting Jew was one of the principal outlets for vengeful rancor.
