The twelve chapters investigate the nature of vice and sin and their origins in the soul, body, and society, and elaborate on self-love, pride, honour, lying, and the desire for esteem. Contributors include Ana Carmona Aliaga, Alexandra Chadwick, Michael B. Gill, Heikki Haara, Michael Jaworzyn, Henrik Lagerlund, Diego Lucci, Michael Moriarty, Jil Muller, Martina Reuter, Matthias Roick, Tim Stuart-Buttle, and Juhana Toivanen.
