ABSTRACT:
Through the basic concepts of field-theory I have elaborated a phenomenological description of gratitude and wonder and illustrated some factors which promote or inhibit each of these virtues. I have described two types of gratitude: gratitude for a benefit and gratitude for existence. I have focussed on the feeling of belonging to a network of interpersonal relations as a basic promoting factor for gratitude. Pride and envy are inhibiting factors of gratitude. Wonder requires an appropriate attitude to reality: the ‚attitude of the simple‘ and ‚respect for the mystery‘ of human beings. I have illustrated the need to set the other in a fixed form or image, a type of intellectual possession as an inhibiting factor of wonder.
