Chapter 3 offers a reconstruction of gratitude as an Aristotelian virtuous emotion, along the argumentative lines suggested in Chapter 1. The chapter begins with an overview of recent discourses on gratitude in philosophy and psychology. It then proceeds to spell out a formal characterization of gratitude as an Aristotelian virtuous emotion. The fourth section pauses to explore how such a characterization can be squared with Aristotle’s apparently unambiguous remarks about gratitude as a non-component of the virtuous make-up of the megalopsychoi (the paragons of moral virtue). Finally, the chapter concludes by demonstrating the virtuousness of gratitude—what makes it intrinsically valuable as part of eudaimonia—by elucidating its association with the overarching emotional virtue of nemesis (poetic justice).
