In this book, Taline Artinian takes a critical look at the existing discussion on dyadic forms of gratitude, from propositional to non-directed, and develops the concept of transpersonal gratitude, which captures the experience of thankfulness for a personally significant good in the absence of a benefactor. The concept of gratitude in philosophy has historically been centred around a triadic experience of gift, giver, and receiver, and it is only in the last two decades that a dyadic conceptualisation has begun to develop. Artinian focuses on the phenomenology and the ethical significance of transpersonal gratitude, to argue that this experience goes beyond mere appreciation or gladness and that its conceptualisation offers a framework for the understanding of gratitude as a virtue.
