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. 410 0$aThink now. 606 $aReparations for historical injustices$xPhilosophy 606 $aJustice (Philosophy) 606 $aResponsibility$xPhilosophy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aReparations for historical injustices$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aJustice (Philosophy) 615 0$aResponsibility$xPhilosophy. 676 $a320.01/1 700 $aVernon$b Richard$f1945-$0853175 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463393303321 996 $aHistorical redress$92093657 997 $aUNINA
