In most Western societies, guilt is widely regarded as a vital
moral emotion. In addition to playing a central role in moral
development and progress, many take the capacity to feel guilt as a
defining feature of morality itself: no truly moral person escapes
the pang of guilt when she has done something wrong. But proponents
of guilt's importance face important challenges, such as
distinguishing healthy from pathological forms of guilt, and
accounting for the fact that not all cultures value guilt in the
same way, if at all. In this volume, philosophers and psychologists
come together to think more systematically about the nature and
value of guilt. The book begins with chapters on the biological
origins and psychological nature of guilt and moves on to discuss
the culturally enriched conceptions of guilt and its value that we
find in various eastern and western philosophic traditions. In
addition, numerous chapters discuss healthy or morally valuable
forms guilt and their pathological or irrational shadows.
