Regaining the 'Lost Self': A Philosophical Analysis of Survivor's Guilt
In Altered Self and Altered Self Experience. pp. 43-57 (2014)
Abstract
Although there has been much discussion regarding shame and guilt, not enough has been said about the complexities of the relationship between the two. In this paper, I examine one way in which I take shame and guilt to interact – namely in cases of so-called “survivor’s guilt” among victims of trauma. More specifically, I argue that survivor’s guilt may represent a kind of response to feelings of shame – one which is centrally tied to the central philosophical notions of autonomy and integrity.Author's Profile
