The Valorization of Sadness Alienation and the Melancholic Temperament
Hastings Center Report 30 (2):13-18 (2000)
Abstract
In the Western aesthetic of melancholy, alienation and authenticity walk hand in hand, and therapies that change affective states—especially drugs like Prozac—are philosophically suspect. This is not a necessary state of affairs. What would be the central philosophical questions in a culture whose aesthetic values rose from the well‐springs of optimism?My notes
