| Abstract
|
:
|
Can wrongs be righted? Or does the impossibility of changing the past mean that we remain permanently guilty? While atonement is usually considered a theological topic, this book uses the resources of secular moral philosophy to explore the possibility of correcting the wrongs we do to one another.
