The feeling that one can't get over a moral wrong is challenging
even in the best of circumstances. This volume considers challenges
to forgiveness in the most difficult circumstances. It explores
forgiveness in criminal justice contexts, under oppression, after
genocide, when the victim is dead or when bystanders disagree, when
many different negative reactions abound, and when anger and
resentment seem preferable and important. The book gathers together
a diverse assembly of authors with publication and expertise in
forgiveness, while centering the work of new voices in the field
and pursuing new lines of inquiry grounded in empirical literature.
Some scholars consider how forgiveness influences and is influenced
by our other mental states and emotions, while other authors
explore the moral value of the emotions attendant upon forgiveness
in particularly challenging contexts. Some authors critically
assess and advance applications of the standard view of forgiveness
predominant in Anglophone philosophy of forgiveness as the
overcoming of resentment, while others offer rejections of basic
aspects of the standard view, such as what sorts of feelings are
compatible with forgiving. The book offers new directions for
inquiry into forgiveness, and shows that the moral psychology of
forgiveness continues to enjoy challenges to its theoretical
structure and its practical possibilities.
