What does it mean to be sad? What difference does it make whether,
how, and why we experience our own, and other people's, sadness? Is
sadness always appropriate and can it be a way of seeing more
clearly into ourselves and others? In this volume, a
multi-disciplinary team of scholars - from fields including
philosophy, women's and gender studies, bioethics and public
health, and neuroscience - addresses these and other questions
related to this nearly-universal emotion that all of us experience,
and that some of us dread. Somewhat surprisingly, sadness has been
largely ignored by philosophers and others within the humanities,
or else under-theorized as a subject worthy of serious and careful
attention. This volume reverses this trend, presenting sadness as
not merely a feeling or affect, but an emotion of great moral
significance that in important ways underwrites how we understand
ourselves and each other.
