Given the current climate of political division and global conflict
it is not surprising that there has been an increasing
interest in how we ought to respond to perceived wrongdoing, both
personal and political. In this volume, top scholars from
around the world contribute all new original essays on the ethics
of forgiveness, revenge, and punishment. This book
draws on both historical and contemporary debates in order to
answer important questions about the nature of forgiveness, the
power of apology, the relationship between punishment and
revenge, the path to reconciliation, the morality of blame, and
the role of forgiveness in political conflict. Chapter 16 is

For a very long time, Kant’s Doctrine of Right languished in
relative neglect, even among those who wanted to defend a Kantian
position in political philosophy. Kant’s more interesting claims
about politics were often said to be located elsewhere. This
anthology examines a wide range of issues discussed by Kant in the
Doctrine of Right and other closely related texts, including his
views on social contract theory, private property, human rights,
welfare and equality, civil disobedience, perpetual peace,
forgiveness and punishment, and marriage equality. The authors have
all tested Kant’s arguments for possible political application,
reaching different and sometimes opposing conclusions. The result
is a highly original volume that not only enhances the
understanding of Kant’s political philosophy, but also invites
substantive debate within the Kantian tradition and beyond.
