Existential gratitude-gratitude for one's very existence or life as
a whole-is pervasive across the most influential human, cultural
and religious traditions. Weaving together analytic and
continental, as well as non-western and historical philosophical
perspectives, this volume explores the nexus of gratitude,
existence and God as an inter-subjective phenomenon for the first
time. A team of leading scholars introduce existential gratitude as
a perennially and characteristically human phenomenon, central to
the distinctive life of our species. Attention is given to the
conditions under which existence itself might be construed as
having a gift-like or otherwise gratitude-inducing character.
Drawing on a diversity of perspectives, chapters mark out new
territory in philosophical inquiry, addressing whether and in what
sense we ought to be grateful for our very existence. By analysing
gratitude, this collection makes a novel contribution to the
discourse on moral emotions, phenomenology, anti-natalism and
theology.
