- W3139342942 abstract "Despair is a stronger form of sadness than envy because it reflects deep inner turmoil. While it is difficult to measure mental states of animals, many behavioural studies imply that at least some social animals can become despondent: but can they reach a state of despair? Søren Kierkegaard considered despair and anxiety integral to the human condition; for him, anxiety was the prelude to original sin and the state of sin was a state of despair. Ignatius of Loyola also recognized periods of desolation as well as consolation in the spiritual life, which suggests that desolation might have a place in the human journey to God. This chapter will explore how one might distinguish licit forms of desolation, which facilitate the journey toward God, from illicit forms, which lead to fear and sin. The vice of <italic>acedia</italic> has a fascinating history. In monastic communities, it was viewed as an attack of the noonday demon and in more secularized contexts it was seen as laziness. This chapter argues that struggles to interpret the presence of <italic>acedia</italic> through history are illuminating in working out the different sources of the vice of <italic>acedia</italic> and its explicit location in the human mind. Of all the cardinal vices, <italic>acedia</italic> is the one that is arguably the most explicit with respect to its damaging impact on the religious life and its distinctive appearance in the human condition." @default.
