Dealing with guilt
About the book
Since Cain’s murder of Abel, the topic of guilt and how to deal with it has shaped cultural and social history. Guilt is attributed, accused, denied, repaid, punished, forgiven, forgotten, dealt with and much more. This volume looks at individual and collective ways of dealing with guilt from the perspective of various disciplines. The result is a broad panorama of the significance of guilt in the present day. Last but not least, common assessments – such as: Forgiveness is fundamentally better than revenge – are called into question.
