"A book of elegance and grace in the grand sociological tradition, this work could become a classic. Tavuchis forces readers to recognize that all human contact is ultimately dyadic. . . . Apology in Japan is compared to its expression in the West, as is, to a lesser extent, secular apology and religious confession. The normative community, sacred or secular, required definitions of exactly what is forgivable and what is not; Tavuchis uses the perspective of Georg Simmel to examine this construct."ChoiceTavuchis, Nicholas is the author of 'Mea Culpa A Sociology of Apology and Reconciliation' with ISBN 9780804722230 and ISBN 0804722234.
