Expressions of gratitude abound. Hardly a book is published that
does not include in its preface or acknowledgments some variation
on, "I am grateful to...for..." Indeed, most achievements come to
be only through the help of others. We value the benevolence of
others, and when we-or our loved ones-are the recipients of
benevolence, our emotional response is often one of gratitude. But,
are we bound to the requirement of 'repaying' our benefactors in
some way? If we are, and there are-as ordinary language
suggests-debts of gratitude, what kind of debts are these? Does the
appropriateness of my gratitude require that my benefactor in fact
intended to benefit me (in just the way she did)? Is there a
difference between feeling grateful and being grateful? Is a
precondition of my being grateful to another that I respect her? Do
we owe a special sort of gratitude to those who have shaped us into
the persons we are? What are the psychological and normative
relations between gratitude the emotion, and gratitude the virtue?
These are among the questions carefully addressed in The Moral
Psychology of Gratitude. This volume provides readers with the
state-of-the-art in research on gratitude. It does so in the form
of sixteen never-before published articles on the emotion by
leading voices in philosophy and the sciences of the mind.
