recantation
Recantation means a personal public act of denial of a previously published opinion or belief , and is derived from the Latin ''retractionem'' (the nominative form of the verb ''retractio'' or the past participle of the noun ''retractareto, meaning "to pull back")
==Philosophy==
Philosophically recantation it is linked to a genuine change of opinion, often caused by a serious event which reveals a better or more complete representation of a presumed truth. For example, ''Recantation'' was the title of a 16th-century book by Bishop Augustine of Hippo correcting his former writings as a ordinary teacher of rhetoric prior to his becoming a cleric which he described as'' "a recantation of opinion with admission of error" ''
In classical Roman poetry, after deliberately describing something extravagantly or hyperbolically for memorable dramatic effect, recantation was used to briefly redefine the material subject fairly and honestly.
