Description
Wrongdoing and the Moral Emotions explores how we can address wrongdoing in light of challenges to retribution and free will. The book examines various aspects of blame, punishment, forgiveness, and personal relationships, considering alternative approaches that prioritize forward-looking goals. Derk Pereboom's account of blame as moral protest is central to his argument, which also considers the role of defensive harming and the right of self-defense in justifying measures such as preventative detention. The author then turns to the question of forgiveness, proposing a conception that renounces the stance of moral protest. Ultimately, Wrongdoing and the Moral Emotions offers an impartial hope for humanity, even in a deterministic universe. This thought-provoking work is ideal for anyone interested in ethics, philosophy, or psychology.
