Abstract

The article gives an overview of the philosophical and psychological literature on the concept of gratitude up to 2013. The works published in both sciences are examined primarily with regard to their conceptual foundations and the ethical evaluation of gratitude, for example as duty, virtue or supererogation. The analysis shows that a number of incompatible concepts are used, so that the debate is characterised by a complex network of overlapping and overlapping terms. The contribution ends with proposals for further research. Psychologists are advised to more accurately define and justify their conceptions of gratitude and to conduct bottom-up studies on the everyday practical concept of gratitude. Philosophers, on the other hand, should pay more attention to the bottom-up work carried out in the social sciences.
