Exploring recent and high profile cases, Vernon focuses on the issue of responsibility.Should the British Museum return the Elgin Marbles to Greece? Should settler societies in North America and Australasia compensate the aboriginal peoples whom they dispossessed?aShould Israel have accepted Germany's compensation for Nazi extermination policies? a The last twenty years have seen a remarkable surge of political and ethical interest in historical redress - that is, the righting of old wrongs. In this fascinating book, Richard Vernon argues that whatever the kind of redress that's at issue, and whether the wrong is large or small, an important philosophical issue arises. Exploring recent and high profile cases, Vernon focuses on the issue of responsibility. Responsibility isn't something inherited, like property or one's DNA. How, then, can it fall to one generation to make good the wrongs done by another? The book addresses all the main issues and arguments relating to justice, memory, apology and citizenship, and concludes by arguing for a forward-looking approach that focuses on the right of future generations to live just lives.Think now.Reparations for historical injusticesPhilosophyJustice (Philosophy)ResponsibilityPhilosophyReparations for historical injusticesPhilosophy.Justice (Philosophy)ResponsibilityPhilosophy.320.01/1Vernon Richard1945-853175MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810969803321Historical redress4089176UNINA
