Capacity of the Politics for Reducing of Ressentimental Violence in the Middle East

Violence has never been and is not an unfamiliar and underused concept. What has made violence an important phenomenon that needs to be investigated is its widespread breadth and complexity. Today’s violence is so multifaceted that to understand this violence, discovering and understanding internal motivations and psychological roots is far more important than exploring external and immediate stimuli. Accordingly, in the present research, we have considered the concept of ressentiment (in the words of Max Scheler) as an active and intensifying source of violence. Using descriptiveanalytical method and library resources, the authors seek an answer to this question that “How the discipline of politics can eliminate the sources of violence in societies by reducing ressentiment?”. Our hypothesis is that political science, due to its talents such as high variety and legal support, is able to deal with current affairs as a political matter, establish binding and responsible procedures, and resort to tact and contemplative decision-making outside the confines of the ideological, abstract, and transcendental thought system will reduce the enormous amount of ressentimentbased violence of the present and the future. The findings of this study, which are the result of accuracy to the critical reduction capacities of political science and the experience of countries that have used this model (reduction of violence through ressentiment control), have confirmed our initial hypothesis.
