Download or read book Guilt written by Herant Katchadourian and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2011-07-06 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first study of guilt from a wide variety of perspectives: psychology, psychiatry, psychoanalysis, evolutionary psychology, anthropology, six major religions, four key moral philosophers, and the law. Katchadourian explores the ways in which guilt functions within individual lives and intimate relationships, looking at behaviors that typically induce guilt in both historical and modern contexts. He examines how the capacity for moral judgments develops within individuals and through evolutionary processes. He then turns to the socio-cultural aspects of guilt and addresses society's attempts to come to terms with guilt as culpability through the legal process. This personal work draws from, and integrates, material from extensive primary and secondary literature. Through the extensive use of literary and personal accounts, it provides an intimate picture of what it is like to experience this universal emotion. Written in clear and engaging prose, with a touch of humor, Guilt should appeal to a wide audience.

Book excerpt: A collection of three crime mysteries by Brian L. Porter, now available in one volume! Behind Closed Doors: In the autumn of 1888, amidst the terror caused by Jack the Ripper's notorious murders in London, a lesser-known killer lurks in the shadows. Unknown to the public, murders are taking place aboard the carriages of the London Metropolitan Railway. Inspector Albert Norris is tasked to apprehend the elusive killer, with clues in short supply and the killer's motive a mystery. Will he be able to unravel the inexplicable series of murders and bring the culprit to justice before he strikes again? Purple Death: Detective Inspector Sean Connor faces a daunting task. A serial killer is terrorizing Richmond-on-Thames, with the murders all committed with a unique poison linked to the infamous Borgia family. Each victim seems to be unrelated, clues are scarce, and the killer is always one step ahead of them. With the help of Sergeant Lucy Clay, Connor must piece together evidence to find the mysterious "Chocolate Woman" and stop the killing spree before another life is lost. The Nemesis Cell: A group of women gather at a Belgian fertility clinic where Doctor Margherita Dumas offers a revolutionary treatment for their infertility. A year later, each of the women give birth to a healthy baby boy. Thirty years later, a mysterious killer begins to wipe out the children born as a result of Dumas’ programme. Detective Inspector Harry Houston and his team are assigned to piece together the case and bring the killer to justice. But with both time and clues in short supply, can Harry and his team find the link between events of the past and the deaths of the innocent progeny of Clinique Sobel?
Download or read book Being Guilty written by Guy Elgat and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-02 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What can guilt, the painful sting of the bad conscience, tell us about who we are as human beings? Being Guilty seeks to answer this question through an examination of the views of Kant, Schelling, Schopenhauer, Paul Rée, Nietzsche, and Heidegger on guilt, freedom, responsibility, and conscience. The concept of guilt has not received sufficient attention from scholars of the history of German philosophy. Being Guilty addresses this lacuna and shows how the philosophers' arguments can be more deeply grasped once read in their historical context. A main claim of the book is that this history could be read as proceeding dialectically. Thus, in Kant, Schelling, and Schopenhauer, we find variations on the idea that guilt is justified because the human agent is a free cause of his or her own being-a causa sui-and thus responsible for his or her "ontological guilt." In contrast, in Rée and Nietzsche these ideas are rejected and the conclusion is reached that guilt is not justified, but is explainable psychologically. Finally, in Heidegger we find a synthesis of sorts, where the idea of causa sui is rejected, but ontological guilt is retained and guilt is seen as possible, because for Heidegger a condition of possibility of guilt is that we are ontologically guilty yet not causa sui. In the process of unfolding this trajectory, the various philosophers' views on these and many other issues are examined in detail"--
Download or read book The Bad Conscience written by Vladimir Jankélévitch and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most distinctive figures in twentieth-century French philosophy, Vladimir Jankélévitch (1903-1985), is becoming increasingly known to the English-speaking world. The Bad Conscience, which focuses on remorse, is central to his moral philosophy. Indeed, Jankélévitch finds the foundation of ethics in our experience of "the bad conscience” or remorse. Unlike repentance, remorse arises out of the realization that we can never undo what has been done in the past; it will remain and be a part of us forever. This bad conscience gives rise to scruples in us and, in doing so, makes us aware of our freedom and the responsibility that our freedom entails. According to Jankélévitch, most ethical theories and systems shield us from remorse. This is unfortunate because, in his view, the very experience of remorse provides the seeds to overcome it. In the end, the overcoming of remorse--as the result of a gratuitous act--is accompanied by true joy. In many ways The Bad Conscience and Jankélévitch’s Forgiveness (Chicago 2005) represent philosophical "bookends.” For Jankélévitch, remorse is a condition or state that gives rise to forgiveness and without which forgiveness would make no sense. Remorse opens up the possibility of forgiveness, but it does not necessitate it. From a Jankélévitchean perspective, forgiveness is the gratuitous response of one person to another’s remorse. La mauvaise conscience was first published in France in 1933, but was subsequently revised and expanded. This carefully and sensitively translated English-language edition corresponds to the most recent edition, but indicates where differences among the editions occur. Andrew Kelley, who is also responsible for the English Edition of Jankélévitch’s Forgiveness (Chicago 2005), provides a superb Translator’s Introduction placing The Bad Conscience into intellectual and historical context.

Download or read book The Philosophy of Heidegger written by Michael Watts and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-19 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Philosophy of Heidegger" is a readable and reliable overview of Heidegger's thought, suitable both for beginners and advanced students. A striking and refreshing feature of the work is how free it is from the jargon and standard idioms of academic philosophical writing. Written in straightforward English, with many illustrations and concrete examples, this book provides a very accessible introduction to such key Heideggerian notions as in/authenticity, falling, throwness, moods, temporality, earth, world, enframing, etc. Organized under clear, no-nonsense headings, Watt's exposition avoids complicated involvement with the secondary literature, or with wider philosophical debates, which gives his writing a fresh, immediate character. Ranging widely across Heidegger's numerous writings, this book displays an impressively thorough knowledge of his corpus, navigating the difficult relationship between earlier and later Heidegger texts, and giving the reader a strong sense of the basic motives and overall continuity of Heidegger's thought.
Download or read book Conscience written by Alice Mattison and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-08-07 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades ago in Brooklyn, three girls demonstrated against the Vietnam War, and each followed a distinct path into adulthood. Helen became a violent revolutionary. Val wrote a controversial book, essentially a novelization of Helen’s all-too-short but vibrant life. And Olive became an editor and writer, now comfortably settled with her husband, Griff, in New Haven. When Olive is asked to write an essay about Val’s book, doing so brings back to the forefront Olive and Griff’s tangled histories and their complicated reflections on that tumultuous time in their young lives.Conscience, the dazzling new novel from award-winning author Alice Mattison, paints the nuanced relationships between characters with her signature wit and precision. And as Mattison explores the ways in which women make a difference—for good or ill—in the world, she elegantly weaves together the past and the present, and the political and the personal.

Book excerpt: Shores explains that God desires not performance from us, but thanksgiving. His longing is that we simply come to Him in gratefulness rather than hoping to earn His acceptance through an agonized and distant performance of burdensome duties. False Guilt helps believers truly grasp the fact that they have already been made clean--they don't need to make themselves clean through impeccable performance.
Download or read book Conscience written by Hendrik Stoker and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2018-03-30 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conscience: Phenomena and Theories was first published in German in 1925 as a dissertation by Hendrik G. Stoker under the title Das Gewissen: Erscheinungsformen und Theorien. It was received with acclaim by philosophers at the time, including Stoker’s dissertation mentor Max Scheler, Martin Heidegger, and Herbert Spielberg, as quite possibly the single most comprehensive philosophical treatment of conscience and as a major contribution in the phenomenological tradition. Stoker’s study offers a detailed historical survey of the concept of conscience from ancient times through the Middle Ages up to more modern thinkers, including Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Freud, and Cardinal Newman. Stoker analyzes not only the concept of conscience in academic theory but also various types of theories of conscience. His work offers insightful discussions of problems and theories related to the genesis, reliability, and validity of conscience. In particular, Stoker analyzes the moral, spiritual, and psychological phenomena connected with bad conscience, which in turn illuminate the concept of conscience. The book is deeply informed by the traditions of western Christianity. Available for the first time in an accessible English translation, with an introduction by its translator and editor, Philip E. Blosser, it promises to be of interest to philosophers, especially in Christian philosophy and phenomenology, and also to all those interested in moral and religious psychology, ethics, religion, and theology.

Download or read book The Origin of Sin written by David Konstan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-10 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where did the idea of sin arise from? In this meticulously argued book, David Konstan takes a close look at classical Greek and Roman texts, as well as the Bible and early Judaic and Christian writings, and argues that the fundamental idea of "sin" arose in the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, although this original meaning was obscured in later Jewish and Christian interpretations. Through close philological examination of the words for "sin," in particular the Hebrew hata' and the Greek hamartia, he traces their uses over the centuries in four chapters, and concludes that the common modern definition of sin as a violation of divine law indeed has antecedents in classical Greco-Roman conceptions, but acquired a wholly different sense in the Hebrew Bible and New Testament.
