englischIs morality without guilt conceivable? In public, morality regularly tends towards moralization. Guilt is used here as a weapon to denigrate the other. But such a moralization usually aims at the person and not at his actions. Wouldn't it be better to banish the issue of guilt from moral discourses? This volume explores the question of which narratives of dept are valid in pluralistic societies. How are such narratives internalized and practiced? And what is the role of ethics when it distinguishes between morality and guilt? The discussion is led by the hypothesis that ethical debates rely on places and strategies of exculpation where dept reduction is possible, if morality aims not only at good conscience, but also at good action.
