Volume: The Moral Psychology of Regret
Volume Editor:  Anna Gotlib

Proposals are sought for chapters in a volume entitled The Moral Psychology of Regret, which is a part of a new series, entitled Moral Psychology of the Emotions (Rowman & Littlefield International) with Mark Alfano as series editor.  Anna Gotlib will be serving as the editor of the Regret volume, the proposed publication date for which is late 2017.

A few words of what the general series is about from the Rowman & Littlefield International page:

How do our emotions influence our other mental states (perceptions, beliefs, motivations, intentions) and our behaviour? How are they influenced by our other mental states, our environments, and our cultures? What is the moral value of a particular emotion in a particular context? This series explores the causes, consequences, and value of the emotions from an interdisciplinary perspective. Emotions are diverse, with components at various levels (biological, neural, psychological, social), so each book in this series is devoted to a distinct emotion. This focus allows the author and reader to delve into a specific mental state, rather than trying to sum up emotions en masse. Authors approach a particular emotion from their own disciplinary angle (e.g., conceptual analysis, feminist philosophy, critical race theory, phenomenology, social psychology, personality psychology, neuroscience) while connecting with other fields. In so doing, they build a mosaic for each emotion, evaluating both its nature and its moral properties.  Each volume will approach a particular emotion from multiple angles, with novel contributions both from philosophers employing a variety of methods and working in a variety of traditions and from philosophically-savvy scientists developing models in personality psychology, social psychology, neuroscience, and other fields.

The particular volume on regret, as I interpret it, construes the emotion as broadly as possible.  Topics might include (but are in no way limited to):  regret related to loss; the rationality, functionality, and motivational force of regret;  regret’s influence on our present and future decision-making; the phenomenological experiences of regret; the relationship of regret, moral luck, and virtue; the distinctions between shame and regret; gender, race, and regret; professional regret; and everything in between.  I hope to bring together a group of theorists who will add something new, and perhaps unusual, to the discourses of moral psychology by addressing an emotion that has not been sufficiently discussed.  I very much hope that you can be a part of this project, and look forward to your response.
