Reparations for slavery have become a reinvigorated topic for public debate over the last decade. Most theorizing about reparations treats it as a social justice project—either rooted in reconciliatory justice focused on making amends in the present; or, they focus on the past, emphasizing restitution for historical wrongs. Olúfemi O. Táiwò argues that neither approach is optimal, and advances a different case for reparations—one rooted in a hopeful future that tackles the issue of climate change head on, with distributive justice at its core.

You don’t have to be an animal rights activist to take an interest in how we treat other creatures.

Le malheur rend Dieu absent pendant un temps, plus absent qu'un mort, plus absent que la lumière dans un cachot complètement ténébreux. Une sorte d'horreur submerge toute l'âme. Pendant cette absence il n'y a rien à aimer. Ce qui est terrible, c'est que si, dans ces ténèbres où il n'y a rien à aimer, l'âme cesse d'aimer, l'absence de Dieu devient définitive. Il faut que l'âme continue à aimer à vide, ou du moins à vouloir aimer, fût-ce avec une partie infinitésimale d'elle-même.

In this sensitive and probing book, Matthew Ichihashi Potts explores the complex moral terrain of forgiveness, which he claims has too often served as a salve to the conscience of power rather than as an instrument of healing or justice. Though forgiveness is often linked with reconciliation or the abatement of anger, Potts resists these associations, asserting instead that forgiveness is simply the refusal of retaliatory violence through practices of penitence and grief.

Indossando di volta in volta i panni dell'avidità, della cupidigia, dell'usura, della concupiscenza, della taccagneria o della grettezza, la struttura camaleontica dell'avarizia è tale che essa può addirittura assumere le sembianze della virtù.
