АНТРОПОЛОГИЈА ПОНОСА И СТИДА
ANTHROPOLOGY OF PRIDE AND SHAME

Summary/Abstract: Although it can be recognized in certain actions of domesticated animal species, such as dogs and cats, pride and shame characterize primarily members of human communities. Based on the primary dichotomous pattern of positive and negative determination, desirable and undesirable actions were expressed as pride and shame and, depending on culture and religious beliefs, they also acquired their specific characteristics. Considering the importance of the Christian understanding of pride and shame in the development of human moral sensitivity, the author points out its deep empathic significance in the phenomenon of provoking such feelings not only because of one's own, but also because of the actions of others.
