Abstract
Sentiment addresses emotional and enduring attitudinal features of contempt, but explaining contempt as a mixture of basic emotion system affects does not adequately address the family resemblance structure of the concept. Adding forms of individual, group-based, and widely shared arrogance and contempt is necessary to address complex mixed feelings of proud superiority when “looking down on” and acting harshly towards others.
