| Summary: | Love's Forgiveness combines a discussion of the nature and ethics of forgiveness with a discussion, inspired by Kierkegaard, of the implications of considering interpersonal forgiveness as a 'work of love.' It introduces the reader to some key questions that have exercised recent philosophers of forgiveness, discussing the relationship between forgiveness and an extended notion of resentment, considering whether forgiveness should be conditional or unconditional (showcasing a particular understanding of the latter) and arguing that there are legitimate forms of third party forgiveness. It then introduces the idea of forgiveness as a work of love through a discussion of Kierkegaard, key New Testament passages on forgiveness, and some contemporary work on the philosophy of love. |
