Philosopher Vladimir Jankelevitch has only recently begun to
receive his due from the English-speaking world, thanks in part to
discussions of his thought by Jacques Derrida, Emmanuel Levinas,
and Paul Ricoeur. His international readers have long valued his
unique, interdisciplinary approach to philosophy's greatest
questions and his highly readable writing style. Originally
published in 1967, "Le Pardon", or "Forgiveness", is one of
Jankelevitch's most influential works. In it, he characterizes the
ultimate ethical act of forgiving as behaving toward the
perpetrator as if he or she had never committed the action, rather
than merely forgetting or rationalizing it - a controversial notion
when considering events as heinous as the Holocaust. Like so many
of Jankelevitch's works, "Forgiveness" transcends standard
treatments of moral problems, not simply generating a treatise on
one subject but incorporating discussions of topics such as free
will, giving, creativity, and temporality. Translator Andrew Kelley
masterfully captures Jankelevitch's melodic prose and, in a
substantive introduction, reviews his life and intellectual
contributions. "Forgiveness" is an essential part of that legacy,
and this indispensable English translation provides key tools for
understanding one of the great Western philosophers of the
twentieth century.
