Preferred term

disenchantment  

Definition(s)

  • The term disenchantment can be used in a colloquial sense to denote a particular affective or emotional dimension of politics—for example, one may say that one is disenchanted with politicians, or with the political process in general, meaning that one has doubts about their efficacy or integrity, or that one's emotional investments in them have been betrayed. However, the word has a more specific meaning in the history of political and social thought. [Source: Encyclopedia of Political Theory; Disenchantment]
