Given this experience of hurt which is manifested philosophically in moral theory as a need for justificatory and motivational reasons to converge it might be useful to think about responses to this experience of hurt. Bernstein mentions several expressions of this hurt brought about by disenchantment. Direct expressions of the pain we feel include disillusionment alienations boredom and anger while indirect expressions of this hurt manifest themselves in cynicism focusing on one part of life in an attempt to make the whole meaningful religious fundamentalism obsessive consumerism and a valuing of pure experience of an erotic or aesthetic sort.
