Extended program
The course provides an overview of the moral debate on responsibility, offering an analysis of the main theoretical perspectives, with particular attention to the notions of accountability and attributability. It then examines the principal interpretations and applications of the restorative justice paradigm in both national and international contexts, with a focus on its ethical implications. Special attention will be devoted to the “restorative” option. In the first part of the course, several ethical categories that are central to understanding the assumptions and distinctive features of the restorative paradigm will be clarified.
