Book Synopsis Revenge and Social Conflict by : Kit R. Christensen
Download or read book Revenge and Social Conflict written by Kit R. Christensen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-15 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revenge has been a subject of concern in most intellectual traditions throughout history, and even when social norms regard it as permissible or even obligatory, it is commonly recognised as being more counterproductive than beneficial. In this book, Kit R. Christensen explores this provocative issue, offering an in-depth account of both the nature of revenge and the causes and consequences of the desire for this kind of retaliatory violence. He then develops a version of eudaimonistic consequentialism to argue that vengeance is never morally justified, and applies this to cases of intergroup violence where the lust for revenge against a vilified 'Them' is easily incited and often exploited. His study will interest a wide range of readers in moral philosophy as well as social philosophers, legal theorists, and social/behavioural scientists.

Download or read book Justified Revenge Due to a Secret Found in Pages in the Library written by Pam Me and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-04-04 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book of fiction. Paumla and Mariella find themselves at a college reunion remembering the good old days and the time they had in college. Yet a few days after the reunion, a secret is uncovered. Revenge is sought after in an extreme crazy way. But when it is all said and done, absolute justice prevails in the end. The message in this book is that there is a lot of information on the pages of books. Sometimes that information may not be authorized to be there. If the information is regarding someone you know it should only be written if you have permission by the person it is about to write it. In addition, seeking revenge is never the solution to being angry. This is a very unique book. As you read it there are no errors. For example Lacys is not Macys, Apha Aka Apha is not Alpha Kappa Alpha. The characters are Paumla and Mariella, not Paula and Melissa. In certain words the __ has replaced a letter on purpose to keep the impactful blow, yet keep the text clean. This book is waiting for you to open it, read it and enjoy it. If you do, you will be glad you did! The purpose of this book is to give you something enjoyable to read. Careful once you start reading it you may not want to put it down until you finish it. This book is not a children's book.
Book Synopsis Honor and Revenge: A Theory of Punishment by : Whitley R.P. Kaufman
Download or read book Honor and Revenge: A Theory of Punishment written by Whitley R.P. Kaufman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-08-28 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the problem of justifying the institution of criminal punishment. It examines the “paradox of retribution”: the fact that we cannot seem to reject the intuition that punishment is morally required, and yet we cannot (even after two thousand years of philosophical debate) find a morally legitimate basis for inflicting harm on wrongdoers. The book comes at a time when a new “abolitionist” movement has arisen, a movement that argues that we should give up the search for justification and accept that punishment is morally unjustifiable and should be discontinued immediately. This book, however, proposes a new approach to the retributive theory of punishment, arguing that it should be understood in its traditional formulation that has been long forgotten or dismissed: that punishment is essentially a defense of the honor of the victim. Properly understood, this can give us the possibility of a legitimate moral justification for the institution of punishment.
Download or read book Payback written by Thane Rosenbaum and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-04-10 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We call it justice—the assassination of Osama bin Laden, the incarceration of corrupt politicians or financiers like Rod Blagojevich and Bernard Madoff, and the climactic slaying of cinema-screen villains by superheroes. But could we not also call it revenge? We are told that revenge is uncivilized and immoral, an impulse that individuals and societies should actively repress and replace with the order and codes of courtroom justice. What, if anything, distinguishes punishment at the hands of the government from a victim’s individual desire for retribution? Are vengeance and justice really so very different? No, answers legal scholar and novelist Thane Rosenbaum in Payback: The Case for Revenge—revenge is, in fact, indistinguishable from justice. Revenge, Rosenbaum argues, is not the problem. It is, in fact, a perfectly healthy emotion. Instead, the problem is the inadequacy of lawful outlets through which to express it. He mounts a case for legal systems to punish the guilty commensurate with their crimes as part of a societal moral duty to satisfy the needs of victims to feel avenged. Indeed, the legal system would better serve the public if it gave victims the sense that vengeance was being done on their behalf. Drawing on a wide range of support, from recent studies in behavioral psychology and neuroeconomics, to stories of vengeance and justice denied, to revenge practices from around the world, to the way in which revenge tales have permeated popular culture—including Hamlet, The Godfather, and Braveheart—Rosenbaum demonstrates that vengeance needs to be more openly and honestly discussed and lawfully practiced. Fiercely argued and highly engaging, Payback is a provocative and eye-opening cultural tour of revenge and its rewards—from Shakespeare to The Sopranos. It liberates revenge from its social stigma and proves that vengeance is indeed ours, a perfectly human and acceptable response to moral injury. Rosenbaum deftly persuades us to reconsider a misunderstood subject and, along the way, reinvigorates the debate on the shape of justice in the modern world.
Book Synopsis Getting Even by : Charles K. B. Barton
Download or read book Getting Even written by Charles K. B. Barton and published by Open Court Publishing. This book was released on 1999 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Getting Even, Charles Barton contends that revenge can be a form of justice that is constructive and healing for our society. Our current judiciary system, he explains, denies both victims and the accused an active role in the legal proceedings and resolution of their cases, reducing them to bystanders in what is essentially their own conflict. Barton does not argue for an individual's right to take the law into his own hands, but does show that the courts should recognize the revenge motive as legitimate and rational within the rules of justice."--pub. desc.

Book Synopsis Payback: The Nature and Morality of Revenge by : Brian Bennett Allen
Download or read book Payback: The Nature and Morality of Revenge written by Brian Bennett Allen and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main argument in this dissertation is that revenge can be morally and rationally justified. The notions that revenge is pointless, that "two wrongs do not make a right", and commonsense and religious admonitions to "forgive and forget" or to forswear revenge and "turn the other cheek" all suggest the contrary. In addition, the prevalence of, and our ambivalent attitudes towards, revenge, as reflected in the media and in criminal cases, points to a need for conceptual clarification and elucidation of the factors relevant to the moral evaluation of revenge. In Chapter 2 "What Is Revenge?" I argue that the main point of revenge is to balance the moral scales. I use linguistic and conceptual analysis to arrive at the necessary conditions of an act of revenge and to show that "revenge" is a morally neutral term, like "killing" and "taking", rather than morally loaded, like "murder" and "theft". Thus, the moral evaluation of revenge must be done on a case-by-case basis. In Chapter 3 "Revenge, The Emotions, and Rationality" I display the belief/desire structure of the emotion of revenge, called "revengement" and show that it is a moral emotion premised on the perception of wrongdoing, and aimed at just deserts. I distance revengement from negative states such as hate and malice, and argue that it can provide a basis for morally appropriate and rational action. Using the notions of moral forfeiture, reciprocity, and the "clean hands" doctrine of equity jurisprudence, I argue in Chapter 4 "Morality, Justice, and the Right of Revenge" that revenge can be morally permissible, and in Chapter 5, that incorporating revenge into criminal justice by creating a legal defense of "justified revenge", while initially plausible, is ultimately infeasible

McCullough (Miami, Florida), an internationally recognized expert on forgiveness and revenge, is a professor of psychology at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida, where he directs the Laboratory for Social and Clinical Psychology.
