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. 606 $aJudgment (Ethics) 606 $aComprehension$xMoral and ethical aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJudgment (Ethics) 615 0$aComprehension$xMoral and ethical aspects. 676 $a170 700 $aTabensky$b Pedro Alexis$01028487 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450925603321 996 $aJudging and Understanding$92444522 997 $aUNINA
