Here's a recent one by C.B. Robertson literally called "In Defense of Hatred."https://www.amazon.com/Defense-Hatred-C-B-Robertson/dp/1520526016 …

It's pretty good. The upshot is rather Clintonian - if someone seeks to destroy what you love, how else you gonna feel about them?

Perhaps what we really need is to read a book about friendship

What we need and what there's a market for are two different things, alas.
-
Therein lies the paradox. We need it but it does not exist because their is no market for it. Business models do not coincide with delivery of objective value but of perceived value.
-
It would say it's more accurate to call that "hyperbolic value".

There was a recent popular encomium to negative emotions in general. I think it touched on hate---I recall an interesting result that lawyers and other professionals perform better if they are pissed off---but it hardly exhausted the subject. https://goo.gl/o8ava2

(In the same vein, Anger: The Misunderstood Emotion has a section on hatred -- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AK9IXIM/ ; as you know, Robert H. Frank also treats hate's utility from an economic & game theory perspective. -- Still, I agree, the book you propose would fly off the shelves.)
-
Tooby and Cosmides have a pretty good theory of anger, I think (recalibrational theory of anger).

I found this essay “Hate is the New Sex” enlightening. It compares our norms around hate to Victorian norms around sex. In both cases, you see an attempt to suppress and deny a natural human activityhttps://www.ecosophia.net/hate-new-sex/

I think it's a problem that our moral vocabulary has been impoverished to the point where "hate" is the only way to characterize something as impermissible
-
It's even worse, because the same thing was done to "love". "Love" now is the same as tolerance, as acceptance, as the default goodthink. If you do not "love" then you "hate" and what do we do to people who *hate*...

Ha, I've been wondering who was going to mention it. In Britain at least, it seems a human emotion is now illegal.
