withdraw from

Jason Naylor

"Hatred (or hate) is a deep and emotional extreme dislike, directed against a certain object or class of objects (...) from inanimate objects to animals, oneself or other people, entire groups of people, people in general, existence, or the whole world.

René Descartes viewed hate as an awareness that something is bad combined with an urge to withdraw from it. Baruch Spinoza defined hate as a type of pain that is due to an external cause. Aristotle viewed hate as a desire for the annihilation of an object that is incurable by time. David Hume believed that hate is an irreducible feeling that is not definable at all. Sigmund Freud defined hate as an ego state that wishes to destroy the source of its unhappiness" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate, 25.04.201)
