Concern, misfortune, and despair
pp. 147-159
Abstract
We"ve seen that the property of thinking we have identified as interesse plays a sort of regulative role in the exercise of moral imagination, keeping feeling, knowing, and willing from becoming hopelessly infinitized. So far we"ve considered infinitized willing and feeling, and how interesse prevents these states from coming about; in the final part of our investigation, we will consider the relationship between interest and knowledge. But we begin in a place that might, at first, be surprising: the Upbuilding Discourses.
