In A Theory of Regret Brian Price contends that regret is better
understood as an important political emotion than as a form of
weakness. Price shows how regret allows us to see that our
convictions are more often the products of our perceptual habits
than the authentic signs of moral courage that we more regularly
take them to be. Regret teaches us to give up our expectations of
what we think should or might occur in the future, and also the
idea that what we think we should do will always be the right thing
to do. Understood instead as a mode of thoughtfulness, regret helps
us to clarify our will in relation to the decisions we make within
institutional forms of existence. Considering regret in relation to
emancipatory theories of thinking, Price shows how the
unconditionally transformative nature of this emotion helps us
become more sensitive to contingency and allows us, in turn, to
recognize the steps we can take toward changing the institutions
that shape our lives.
