This publication offers a unique insight into how hate speech affects our relationships, politics and daily life. Thanks to the reflections contained in it, the reader can better understand the mechanisms that drive hatred and find ways to counteract its negative effects.

The authors of the book try to present different theoretical approaches and various formal solutions - from typically empirical texts to philosophical considerations. Hatred, like love or friendship, has accompanied Homo sapiens since its inception, both in interpersonal and intergroup relations. Nowadays, we observe an increase in nationalistic, fascist and exclusionary attitudes, which leads to mutual accusations and hate, which is excellent in Poland.

This book provides keys to opening reflection on reality, reflection and reflection, which has practically disappeared from public life. In Poland, political and ideological divisions have eliminated free reflection, therefore this book can also be an example of reflections that try to analyze what many people in Poland notice, but are probably unable to resist the prevailing way of speaking and reacting to the opponent, who has long become an enemy against democratic rules. From the review by Prof. Dr. habil. Ireneusz Krzemiński.
