Weisberg."This collection embodies a debate that explores what could be characterised as the tension between judging and understanding. It seems that after a particular threshold of understanding of the basic facts leading to a given moral transgression, the more we understand the context and motives leading to crime, the more likely we are to abstain from harsh retributive judgement. Martha Nussbaum's essay? Equity and Mercy?, included in this collection, is the philosophical starting point of this debate, and Bernhard Schlink's novel The Reader - a novel exploring the tension between judging and understanding, among other things - is used as a case study by most contributors. Some contributors, situated at one end of the spectrum of views represented in this collection, argue for the wholesale elimination of our practices of retribution in the light of the tension between judging and understanding, while contributors on the other side of the spectrum argue that the tension does not actually exist. A whole array of intermediate positions, including Nussbaum's, are represented. This anthology is comprised of nearly all specially commissioned essays bringing together work dealing with the moral, metaphysical, epistemological and phenomenological issues required for properly understanding whether in fact there is a tension between judging and understanding and what the moral and legal implications may be of accepting or rejecting this tension."--Provided by publisher.Judgment (Ethics)ComprehensionMoral and ethical aspectsJudgment (Ethics)ComprehensionMoral and ethical aspects.170Tabensky Pedro Alexis1964-1108721MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910965544103321Judging and understanding4495177UNINA02676oam 2200637I 450 991096331840332120251116155514.00-203-10556-71-283-87186-61-136-25423-410.4324/9780203105566 (CKB)2550000000709681(EBL)1097850(OCoLC)823388810(SSID)ssj0000810479(PQKBManifestationID)11503827(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000810479(PQKBWorkID)10833393(PQKB)11724019(MiAaPQ)EBC1097850(Au-PeEL)EBL1097850(CaPaEBR)ebr10635074(CaONFJC)MIL418436(OCoLC)822227319(FINmELB)ELB134875(EXLCZ)99255000000070968120180706d2013 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrBanishment in the later Roman Empire, 284-476 CE /Daniel A.

Author Daniel Washburn argues that exile was both a penalty and a symbol. It applied to those who committed a misstep or crossed the wrong person; it also stood as a marker of affliction or failure. Like other punishments, it articulated and cemented the power asymmetry between the punisher and the punished. Distinctively, it maneuvered the body of the banished in order to tell that tale. The process of banishment also operated as a form of negotiation between the partyRoutledge Studies in Ancient HistoryExile (Punishment)RomeHistoryRomeHistoryEmpire, 30 B.C.-476 A.DExile (Punishment)History.364.6/8Washburn Daniel A.1193912MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910963318403321Banishment in the later Roman Empire, 284-476 CE2762043UNINA
