Making Amends

Atonement in Morality, Law, and Politics

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Can wrongs be righted, or does the impossibility of changing the past mean that we remain permanently guilty? While atonement is traditionally considered a theological topic, Making Amends uses the resources of secular moral philosophy to explore the possibility of correcting the wrongs we do to one another.
