Whether we like it or not, boredom is a major part of human life.
It permeates and affects our personal, social, practical, and moral
existence. It shapes our world by demarcating the interesting and
the meaningful from that which is not. And it sets us in motion
insofar as its presence can give rise to a plethora of behaviors.
Indeed, in its search for meaning, interest, and fulfillment,
boredom straddles the line between the good and the bad, the
beneficial and the harmful. In this volume, world-renowned
researchers come together to explore a neglected but crucially
important aspect of boredom: it's relationship to morality. Does
boredom cause individuals to commit immoral acts? Is the experience
of boredom something that needs to be avoided at all costs? Does
boredom make us worse people? Is it a problem or a solution? Can it
be both? These and other questions are taken up and answered in the
volume.
