Interesting serendipity. Someone today told me that for a closed mind, contempt comes before investigation. I don’t recall any philosopher speaking about contempt. Max Scheler wrote about ressentiment, which would be similar.
As I mentioned, I discovered I had stumbled into very deep waters so I am in no position to say much with confidence. Mention of resentment/ressentiment was common. There were many areas of special treatment in psychology, business management, and legal framings. There were two philosophers that were frequently mentioned, P. F. Strawson and Michelle Mason. Here are reference to their most cited articles
