Cover of George Sher: In Praise of Blame (ePUB)

Blame is an unpopular and neglected notion: it goes against the grain of a therapeutically-oriented culture and has received relatively little philosophical attention. This book discusses questions about its nature, normative status, and relation to character. The book’s most important conclusion is that blame is inseparable from morality itself.
