Abstract

After some brief indications on the most important sciences affecting pride (psychology and pedagogy), I undertake its analysis from an inherently philosophical perspective, through the technical tools of the phenomenology of feelings and emotions. First, I try to show that the formulas, so closely related, which we have found in ordinary language—the feeling of self-value—and mediaeval conceptual analysis—disordered appetite for one’s own excellence—may serve as a starting and meeting point for a great diversity of linguistic, historical and philosophical approaches. I call this logical unit the essence of pride, but I am quick to add that this essence is nothing without its historical and conceptual variants, which I conscientiously review.
