This book brings together leading interdisciplinary scholars to
broaden and deepen the conversation about moral injury. In original
essays, the contributors present new research to show how the
humanities are crucial for understanding the expressions, meaning,
and significance of moral injury.
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.

Communicating Mental Health: History, Contexts, and Perspectives
explores mental health through the lens of the communication
discipline. In the first section, contributors describe the major
contributions of the communication discipline as it pertains to a
broader perspective and stigma of mental health. In the second
section, contributors investigate mental health through various
narrative perspectives. In the third and fourth sections,
contributors consider many applied contexts such as media,
education, and family. At the conclusion, contributors discuss the
ways in which future inquiries regarding mental health in the
communication discipline can be investigated. Scholars of health
communication, mental health, psychology, history, and sociology
will find this volume particularly useful.
Public policy debates often turn on how to get things done once we
know our policy objectives. But how do we make appropriate progress
when people disagree about what those objectives might be? In this
volume, a team of world-renowned scholars introduce and explore the
power of philosophy as a tool for understanding public policy
controversies. Each chapter uses the tools and concepts of
philosophy to frame an assessment of what is at stake in an
enduring and recent policy debate. Organised thematically, the
volume addresses issues such as disability policies, parenting,
immigration, political apologies, criminal punishment, data
gathering, and more. Drawing on the resources of ethical theory,
social philosophy, and political theory in a highly accessible way,
the book is ideal for students and scholars in both philosophy and
public policy.
