The term "approbation" in literature has long been used to denote approval, praise, or formal sanction—whether from public institutions, influential figures, or personal relations. In historical works, such as those by Livy and Josephus, approbation marks official endorsements and collective assent by governing bodies or the people [1], [2], [3], [4]. Philosophers like David Hume and John Dewey employ the word to discuss moral evaluation and the sentiments that underlie human actions, suggesting that approbation not only signifies approval but also shapes character and conduct [5], [6], [7], [8]. In novels and essays—from the witty social observations of Addison and Steele to the intricate character dynamics in Austen’s works—the term conveys both personal satisfaction and the desire for recognition, highlighting its dual role in both public acclaim and individual self-worth [9], [10], [11], [12]. Thus, across a diverse literary spectrum, "approbation" serves as a versatile term that encapsulates the endorsement, approval, and accolades integral to social, political, and moral discourse.
