What is regret and why should we care? In this volume, the
contributors answer these questions in a variety of ways, including
considerations of how fate plays into regret, the connection
between regret and personhood, when regret is reasonable, and the
role regret plays in self-transformation. Gotlib has brought
together a remarkable group of theorists, making this collection a
go-to read.

The Moral Psychology of Regret gives much needed nuance to a moral
emotion that’s easy to oversimplify. Drawing on both empirical and
conceptual resources, this collection demonstrates the myriad ways
that regret is central to both moral life and what it means to be
human. It is of real value for both experts and those just starting
to think deeply about what regret is and how it functions in our
lives.
