Character, liberty, and law : Kantian essays in theory and practice
"Jeffrie G. Murphy's third collection of essays further pursues the topics of punishment and retribution that were explored in his two previous collections: Retribution, Justice and Therapy and Retribution Reconsidered. Murphy now explores these topics in the light of reflections on issues that are normally associated with religion: forgiveness, mercy, and repentance. He also explores the general issue of theory and practice and discusses a variety of topics in applied ethics, e.g. freedom of artistic expression, the morality of gambling, and the value of forgiveness in psychological counseling."--Jacket
