Eric Heinze

Eric Heinze is a German-American legal scholar, author and Professor of Law and Humanities at Queen Mary University of London. He specialises in international human rights, legal philosophy and the history of ethics. Coming Clean is his exploration of honesty, confession and the human need for moral reckoning, examining what it means to tell the truth about ourselves and our societies. The book draws on law, philosophy, psychology and cultural history to examine the complex dynamics of truth-telling, accountability and the desire for redemption. Available as both a book and an audiobook, Coming Clean offers thought-provoking listening and reading for anyone interested in the ethics of honesty, the psychology of confession and the question of what it really means to come clean — individually and collectively.
