The paper concerns the analysis of the connections between normative dimension and emotional reactions, and particularly between the sense of injustice and the moral anger out-lined by Barrington Moore and Axel Honneth. The Author starts by discussing the theory of Moore regained by Axel Honneth, then he offers an analysis of the theory of disrespect (Missachtung) outlined by Honneth in Struggle for Recognition. The Author criticizes this theory, particularly he outlines an analysis of the regressive emotional reactions activated by specific experiences of injustice.
