Vina, láska, náhoda – Pacovská Kamila (2018)

What does it mean to condemn someone for what they have done? Is it even possible to 'hate the sin but love the sinner'? Questions about the meaning of moral judgment, blame, and responsibility open up extensive exploration in the book regarding the relationship between a person and their fleeting yet irrevocable actions, in which both the retrospective view and the reaction of the actor play a key role, as well as the impact of the offense on the actor's relationships, including their relationship with themselves. The fact that remorse and feelings of guilt are not limited to intended actions has, in recent decades, prompted challenges to the Kantian notion that only what is within our power can be morally evaluated in Anglo-Saxon ethics. This development is followed by the central line of thought in the book, emphasizing detailed attention to the specific situation of the action and the psychology of the actor, which reveals the extent to which human actions are exposed to various influences of chance. This change in perspective leads to humility and receptiveness when judging others and shows a path for the reconciliation of love and guilt.
