Straddling philosophy, psychology, clinical medicine, history, and other disciplines, the chapters in this volume explore anxiety from an impressively wide range of perspectives. The first part is more historical, exploring the meaning of anxiety in different philosophical traditions and historical periods, including ancient Chinese Confucianism, twentieth-century European existentialism, and the Roman Stoics. The second part focuses on a cluster of questions having to do with anxiety’s nature and significance: Is anxiety something biological or cultural, or perhaps both? What is at the root of anxiety? Why should human beings suffer in this way? What is the experience of anxiety like, and what, if anything, are the benefits associated with it? Does anxiety have the potential to make us more virtuous or improve the quality of our inquiry? Addressing an area where newer work in moral psychology is sorely needed, this collection and the varied perspectives it offers will be of great interest to scholars, professionals, and students across philosophy, psychology, and related fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: The Moral Psychology of Anxiety by David Rondel and Samir Chopra\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I: Anxiety in the History of Philosophy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: The Moral Psychology of Anxiety: A Stoic Perspective by Massimo Pigliucci\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Not a Moment of Worry: Confucian Views on the Value of Anxiety by Leah Kalmanson\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Anxiety, Curiosity, and the Fracturing of the Self: Descartes and Princess Elisabeth by Deborah J.
