This volume presents the author's most recent ideas on punishment, forgiveness, and the emotions of resentment, shame, guilt, remorse, love, and jealousy. In the author's view, conscious rationales of principle - such as crime control or giving others what in justice they deserve - do not always drive our decisions to punish or condemn others for wrongdoing. The chapters explore, from philosophical and religious perspectives, a variety of moral emotions and their relationship to punishment and condemnation or to decisions to lessen punishment or condemnation
