| Итог: | Usually, apologies are made by using non-conditional utterances: "I apologize for ruining your evening!" Very little, if any, attention has been given so far to conditional apologies which typically use utterances such as "If I have ruined your evening, I apologize!" This paper argues that such conditional utterances can constitute genuine apologies and play important moral roles in situations of uncertainty. It also proposes a closer analysis of such conditional apologies (rejecting some alternative accounts) and contrasts them with unconditional apologies. |
