Description
This philosophical study examines what it means to make amends after wrongdoing, asking how individuals and societies should respond to harm, guilt, and moral responsibility. It explores the roles of apology, forgiveness, restitution, punishment, and reconciliation in repairing damaged relationships, while considering difficult cases involving collective and historical injustice. Bringing together moral philosophy, legal theory, and political thought, the book offers a careful account of atonement that is both intellectually rigorous and relevant to contemporary debates about justice and responsibility.
