by Ian Irvine
This article focuses on the relevance of early Christian writings on acedia and tristitia to the primary modern and postmodern maladies of the subject, i.e., chronic ennui, alienation, estrangement, disenchantment, angst, neurosis, etc. The focus will be on the 'chronic ennui cycle' which has been extensively discussed by Steiner (1971), Bouchez (1973), Kuhn (1976), Healy (1984), Klapp (1986) and Spacks (1995). [1] It can be described as a cycle of boredom and addiction which robs individuals of meaning and a sense of the elan vitale. This cycle has undergone various mutations of form over the centuries. Many of the writers mentioned above have plotted its course of development from classical times to the present. Such discussions begin with the descriptions of taedium vitae, luxuria and the horror loci supplied by Roman philosophers and writers such as Lucretius, Petronius and Seneca. They also encompass analyses of the spiritual illnesses of acedia and tristitia written by the Desert Fathers and of the vari ous emotional and medical conditions described by Medieval and Early Modern poets and medical professionals, e.g., saturnine melancholy, spleen, fits of the mothers, and 'The English Malady.'
Chronic ennui an obsession of romantic and realist writers.
Due largely to the immense sociocultural changes that struck Europe in the nineteenth century the problem of chronic ennui (sometimes termed 'the spleen,' hypp, languer, nerves and disenchantment) inevitably became a major theme (if not obsession) for romantic and realist poets and thinkers. By the late nineteenth century it became tangled up with the concept of 'degeneration' ...

Despair arising from acedia
So I guess this is an act of despair arising from a kind of habit of acedia - or acts - not just a passion:
Article 4. Whether despair arises from sloth?
Objection 1. It would seem that despair does not arise from sloth. Because different causes do not give rise to one same effect. Now despair of the future life arises from lust, according to Gregory (Moral. xxxi, 45). Therefore it does not arise from sloth.
Objection 2. Further, just as despair is contrary to hope, so is sloth contrary to spiritual joy. But spiritual joy arises from hope, according to Romans 12:12, "rejoicing in hope." Therefore sloth arises from despair, and not vice versa.
Objection 3. Further, contrary effects have contrary causes. Now hope, the contrary of which is despair, seems to proceed from the consideration of Divine favors, especially the Incarnation, for Augustine says (De Trin. xiii, 10): "Nothing was so necessary to raise our hope, than that we should be shown how much God loves us. Now what greater proof could we have of this than that God's Son should deign to unite Himself to our nature?" Therefore despair arises rather from the neglect of the above consideration than from sloth.
On the contrary, Gregory (Moral. xxxi, 45) reckons despair among the effects of sloth.
I answer that, As stated above (17, 1; I-II, 40, 1), the object of hope is a good, difficult but possible to obtain by oneself or by another. Consequently the hope of obtaining happiness may be lacking in a person in two ways: first, through his not deeming it an arduous good; secondly, through his deeming it impossible to obtain either by himself, or by another. Now, the fact that spiritual goods taste good to us no more, or seem to be goods of no great account, is chiefly due to our affections being infected with the love of bodily pleasures, among which, sexual pleasures hold the first place: for the love of those pleasures leads man to have a distaste for spiritual things, and not to hope for them as arduous goods. On this way despair is caused by lust.
On the other hand, the fact that a man deems an arduous good impossible to obtain, either by himself or by another, is due to his being over downcast, because when this state of mind dominates his affections, it seems to him that he will never be able to rise to any good. And since sloth is a sadness that casts down the spirit, in this way despair is born of sloth.
Now this is the proper object of hope--that the thing is possible, because the good and the arduous regard other passions also. Hence despair is born of sloth in a more special way: though it may arise from lust, for the reason given above.
This suffices for the Reply to the First Objection.
Reply to Objection 2. According to the Philosopher (Rhet. i, 11), just as hope gives rise to joy, so, when a man is joyful he has greater hope: and, accordingly, those who are sorrowful fall the more easily into despair, according to 2 Corinthians 2:7: "Lest . . . such an one be swallowed up by overmuch sorrow." Yet, since the object of hope is good, to which the appetite tends naturally, and which it shuns, not naturally but only on account of some supervening obstacle, it follows that, more directly, hope gives birth to joy, while on the contrary despair is born of sorrow.
Reply to Objection 3. This very neglect to consider the Divine favors arises from sloth. For when a man is influenced by a certain passion he considers chiefly the things which pertain to that passion: so that a man who is full of sorrow does not easily think of great and joyful things, but only of sad things, unless by a great effort he turn his thoughts away from sadness.

Now unbelief, despair and hatred of God are opposed to the theological virtues: and among them, if we compare hatred of God and unbelief to despair, we shall find that, in themselves, that is, in respect of their proper species, they are more grievous. For unbelief is due to a man not believing God's own truth; while the hatred of God arises from man's will being opposed to God's goodness itself; whereas despair consists in a man ceasing to hope for a share of God's goodness. Hence it is clear that unbelief and hatred of God are against God as He is in Himself, while despair is against Him, according as His good is partaken of by us. Wherefore strictly speaking it is more grievous sin to disbelieve God's truth, or to hate God, than not to hope to receive glory from Him.
If, however, despair be compared to the other two sins from our point of view, then despair is more dangerous, since hope withdraws us from evils and induces us to seek for good things, so that when hope is given up, men rush headlong into sin, and are drawn away from good works. Wherefore a gloss on Proverbs 24:10, "If thou lose hope being weary in the day of distress, thy strength shall be diminished," says: "Nothing is more hateful than despair, for the man that has it loses his constancy both in the every day toils of this life, and, what is worse, in the battle of faith." And Isidore says (De Sum. Bono ii, 14): "To commit a crime is to kill the soul, but to despair is to fall into hell."
interesting. also thinking about - just for my own perspective on my own life - about the relationship between sadnesses - i guess there is no per se relationshp between them but a per accidens one inasmuch as sadness 'molests' - disturbs the animal nature perhaps making someone more prone. pelasures strengthen. In the mdist of showing how every pelasure helps every sadness, don't foget the powerfulness of one contrary against another - IT IS THE CONSIDERATIO NOF GREAT AND GOOD THINGS - OF DIVINE FAVORS WHICH WORKS REALLY WELL!!!!

PROGRAM OF STUDY Amy Gordon
Graduate Studies
I would like to pursue graduate studies in philosophy both for my own interest and to be able to help others to understand themselves and `to live well.` Philosophy exercises and increases the human capacity to think independently and objectively; it also provides perspective and judgment in practical affairs. Philosophy aids in the universal task of discovering what it means to be human in the midst of many complex relationships with others and with the world. It is the responsibility of philosophy to take in the multiplicity of information which experience and the specialized sciences offer to human understanding, to critically analyze it, and to unify it to apply it to the questions of human existence.
Degree Program
I will pursue an MA in philosophy at Dominican University College in Ottawa, Ontario beginning September 2007. The main focuses of research at DUC are based in the following fields: history of philosophy, theory of the history of philosophy, metaphysics, theory of values and philosophical anthropology. The requirements of the master’s program include four research seminars and a master’s thesis, undertaken with the direction of a supervisor. The thesis may be accepted, conditionally accepted, or rejected by a committee of examiners. Following the successful acceptance of a written thesis, an oral defense is scheduled with three members of the faculty. The thesis consists of a scholarly study of one hundred pages and may be analytical, exegetical, or expository in nature.
Research Proposal: Question
My research question will be to conduct a philosophical analysis of sorrow. I intend to incorporate elements from Thomas Aquinas, Rene Descartes, Benedict de Spinoza, Adam Smith, and Martha Nussbaum, who have treated of sorrow or similar concepts in their respective works. In drawing on these five authors, I will structure a positive discourse on sorrow, i.e., look at sorrow from the aspect of a rational consciousness or reflexivity of the subject, and as presupposing an already desiring or appetitive subject. I will then look at how this understanding of sorrow applies in the practical considerations of ethics.
Context
Sorrow is a fundamental and recurring problem of human existence. Sorrow, in the broad sense which I propose, can be defined as a subject’s consciousness of an enemy or threat to its existence or well-being, together with the subject’s consciousness of its own lack of power to overcome the inimical “reality”. I will distinguish suffering or pain from sorrow as not necessarily involving the aspect of rational cognition or reflexivity. Sorrow can include suffering, but its object is much more universal. Sorrow can be caused by the affliction of past or anticipated evils; it can consider the evils that afflict others as well as the subject. It includes anxiety, fear, regret, grief, guilt, animosity, jealousy, anger. In fact, in its universal aspect, it is the principle of every negative emotion.
Sorrow is thus a very relevant philosophical problem. However, the problem of sorrow in itself is rarely analyzed from a purely philosophical perspective. The more particular problem of suffering, on the other hand, preoccupies philosophy and many other fields. Most often,
Amy Gordon
endeavors to explain or understand suffering have always focused on particular extrinsic aspects of suffering, such as its causes and effects, remedies, solutions, or on specific forms of suffering such as anxiety and grief. Most frequently they have been concerned with providing some kind of extrinsic meaning to suffering.
Philosophers have focused on suffering from ancient times, such as the Stoic school, which aimed at overcoming or enduring sorrow, to the existentialists, who were concerned with sorrow as related to authenticity and meaning, and who also addressed particular forms of sorrow such as anxiety and despair. More contemporary philosophers have emphasized a radical individuality of suffering, such as Wittgenstein and certain post-modern philosophers.
Melancholia and depression (melancholia’s modern day counterpart) have also attracted much serious research. The ancient Greeks were interested in melancholy as a chronic condition, viewing melancholia as a physiological ‘temperament’. Post-Renaissance thought focused more on the psychological aspect of melancholy as a source of creativity and an exceptional capacity for rational speculation. Today, following the tradition of the ancient Greeks, melancholy is treated as a physiological condition by science. There are limitations to this approach, however, as can be seen in cases where medical remedies are insufficient for relieving some depressions, or in problems such as continued dependency on drugs. These difficulties point towards the necessity of other means, such as counseling or psychological therapy.
Objectives
It is unfortunate that the problem of sorrow has not been adequately addressed by philosophy because sorrow is the fundamental reality underlying these forms of mental or psychological suffering. It is appropriate for philosophy to conduct a serious investigation of sorrow. If philosophy achieves a universal and positive discourse on sorrow, it could prove to the great advantage of the practical sciences which aim at relieving excessive or unusual sorrow, such as psychiatry, psychotherapy, philosophical therapy, and related fields. A systematic treatment of the concept of sorrow could theoretically help us to understand the prevalent modern problem of depression. A thorough philosophical investigation of sorrow would certainly bring relevant results to the endeavors of psychiatry, aesthetics, sociology, politics, and especially to ethics.
Methodology and Contribution
For my research project, I will use a historical methodology, i.e., a study of the history of the ideas of suffering, passions, and emotions from the thought of the ancient Greeks to the contributions of contemporary philosophy and science, in order to be able to refer to a broad background of philosophical and scientific discussion in the course of my thesis. However, for the thesis project itself, as mentioned above, I will be focusing primarily on five texts as sources. My methodology will closely follow the treatment of these five authors on sorrow. I will also combine various features of their researches in an attempt to unite common elements as well as to draw out new or unique perspectives which these authors propose.
A serious treatment of the question of sorrow is long overdue and especially timely today. By beginning this inquiry into sorrow from a purely philosophical perspective, I hope to inspire efforts and to provide a direction for further research into this important subject.
