Problem

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Under the trick (also treachery or deceit ) refers to an unrecognizable, hidden and hostile at first glance intention is revealed only at sharp insight. To put it less disparagingly or disparagingly, she is about cunning .

As such, it belongs in sociology to the Paretian residue of the “instinct of combinations”.

Insidious characters often play a role in literature (compare the Iago in Shakespeare's Othello ).

Friedrich Theodor Vischer also has one in his novel . A travel acquaintance (1879) coined the expression of the " problem of the object " with which he described the annoying unruliness of (everyday) objects. Wittgenstein called this a “stupid anthropomorphism”, the Grimm - who also knows the Tückebold - a little more beautifully “soulful of things”.

Criminal law (Germany)

  • According to German criminal law, according to prevailing opinion, the insidiousness contained in the murderous offenses ( Section 211 StGB) denotes the exploitation of defenselessness based on innocence.
  • Cunning i. S. d. of the constituent elements of dangerous bodily harm ( Section 224 of the Criminal Code) means planned, concealing action. It is thus even more marked than the insidiousness by the deliberately achieved concealment element of the perpetrator.
