The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Desire is the first, multi-authored major reference source on the key topics, problems, and puzzles surrounding desire in philosophy. It offers coverage of desire and its importance in metaethics, ethics and the study of wellbeing, philosophy of mind, and other philosophical subdisciplines as well as in neighboring fields like psychology, economics, and artificial intelligence. Interest in desire as a research area has increased significantly from multiple quarters over the last decade, and this volume will synthesize both this recent research and historical approaches.
Comprising 35 chapters by a diverse team of contributors from all over the globe, the Handbook is divided into six sections:
I. History of Thought on Desire
II. Contemporary Theories of Desire
III. Varieties of Desire
IV. Desire and the Mind
V. Desire, Reasons, and Value
VI. Philosophy of Desire and Other Disciplines
The volume is essential reading for students and researchers in philosophy and adjacent fields who are interested in exploring the nature of desire, and its role in theory and practice across a range of topics.
