ABSTRACT: What might Diderot have meant in proposing that two passions, indignation and ressentiment, were the repositories for a general will, akin to written law (for civilized peoples) or social practices (for peuples sauvages)? This article aims to trace one term which arises in some eighteenth-century writings on empire and slavery, namely that of ressentiment (in contrast with studies of sympathy, with which it is of course tied). I include some pertinent moments in the work of Denis Diderot and Edmund Burke from the 1770s and 1780s, exploring the forms of political sympathy and anger that Diderot (especially in the Histoire des deux Indes) expresses ranged alongside the contemporary thought of Burke as counterweight. I shift from there to the 1880s to consider Friedrich Nietzsche’s use of the concept in On the Genealogy of Morality (GM), published in 1887, emphasizing connections between the discussion of ressentiment and temporality. Finally, I make links with the thought of Frantz Fanon and Ranajit Guha to explore how the sentiments of conquest are reflected in a conception of the past inextricably marked by colonialism. Nietzsche retains the French term ressentiment in his work, and I have therefore kept it for the most part since it provides a terminological link between Diderot, Nietzsche and Fanon. Clearly, much of its meaning is carried by the English term "resentment," which appears near the end of this paper.
