The Moral Psychology of Admiration (Moral Psychology of the Emotions) delves into an emotion often discussed but seldom explored in depth. Edited by Alfred Archer, this interdisciplinary volume primarily engages with philosophical inquiries while incorporating insights from psychology. Through contributions that span these disciplines, the book offers a comprehensive exploration of admiration—its nature, its connections to other emotions like wonder, envy, and pride, and its role in shaping our moral lives. A central theme is the potential link between admiration, emulation, and character development, both individually and on a societal level.
