This book argues that justice often governs apologies. Drawing on
examples from literature, politics, and current events, Cohen
presents a theory of apology as corrective offers. Many leading
accounts of apology say much about what apologies do and why they
are important. They stop short of exploring whether and how justice
governs apologies. Cohen argues that corrective justice may require
apologies as offers of reparation. Individuals, corporations, and
states may then have rights or duties regarding apology. Exercising
rights to apology or fulfilling duties to provide them are ways of
holding one another mutually accountable. By casting rights and
duties of apology as justifiable to free and equal persons, the
book advances conversations about how liberalism may respond to
historic injustice. Apologies and Moral Repair will be of interest
to scholars and advanced students in ethics, political philosophy,
and social philosophy.
