In Praise of Blame
Sher, George (, Herbert S. Autrey Professor of Philosophy, Rice University)
Blame is an unpopular and neglected notion: it goes against the grain of a therapeutically-oriented culture and has been far less discussed by philosophers than such related notions as responsibility and punishment. This book seeks to show that neither the opposition nor the neglect is justified. The book's most important conclusion is that blame is inseperable from morality itself - that any considerations that justify us in accepting a set of moral principles mustalso call for the condemnation of those who violate the principles. Properly understood, blame and morality must stand or fall together.
