Judging and Understanding (eBook, ePUB)

Essays on Free Will, Narrative, Meaning and the Ethical Limits of Condemnation
Redaktion: Tabensky, Pedro Alexis

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This collection embodies a debate that explores what could be characterised as the tension between judging and understanding. It seems that after a particular threshold of understanding of the basic facts leading to a given moral transgression, the more we understand the context and motives leading to crime, the more likely we are to abstain from harsh retributive judgement.
