This book explores the nature of guilt, shedding light on how the modern West came increasingly to understand it as 'the most terrible sickness'. Examining the psychological origins of guilt and tracing its rise alongside civilisation, it considers the modern predicament of finding explanations for guilt in a secular, post-Christian society.
