The Concept of Emotional Mentality in a Sketch of Political Aesthetics: Building a Political Community

Abstract

This article presents the author’s concept of emotional mentality, defined as a prevailing emotional state dominant in each culture and self-reproduced, in part, through the actions of those exercising political power. This concept is grounded in psychological research and philosophical reflection. Emotional mentality constitutes a pervasive emotional climate influencing all spheres of public and private life, including art, urban planning, and economics. Every member of a given community either internalises this emotional mentality or actively opposes it; remaining a passive observer is not an option. The author proposes applying Adam Chmielewski’s concept of political aesthetics to observe, analyse, and intervene in the emotional mentality.
