Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Regret
James Warren · 2022
78/100
👍 Worth It
Oxford University Press and peer review in The Philosophical Review are the gold standard for academic philosophy, and Warren's argument — that ancient accounts of regret hinge on acting from ignorance and connect directly to virtue and practical knowledge — fills a genuine scholarly gap. This is not self-help by any measure; it belongs in the hands of graduate students and professional philosophers.
