This book provides a study of regret (metameleia) in the moral
psychology of Plato, Aristotle, and the Stoics. It was important
for all these philosophers to insist that regret is a
characteristic of neither fully virtuous nor wholly irredeemable
characters. Rather, they took regret to be something that affects
people who retrospectively feel pain at realising an earlier
mistaken action. Regret sets out in full the accounts of the nature
of this emotion found in the works of these philosophers, viewing
them in the context of their respective accounts of virtuous and
non-virtuous agents, ethical progress, the role of knowledge in
producing good actions, and compares it with modern philosophical
notions of 'agent regret'.
