| Summary: | "Forgiveness of Others explores how we can understand "change" in the practice of forgiveness. To forgive is to change from feeling resentment to feeling forgiving, and to be forgiven is to change from feeling guilty or remorseful to feeling forgiven. How do we understand that kind of change, and what questions does it raise about the nature of changing identities (from victim to forgiver, from wrongdoer to forgiven)? The argument of Forgiveness of Others is that all sorts of unnoticed events happen when someone forgives another, and that these events help us better understand the dynamic conditions of our personal identities in moments of duress and reconciliation"-- Provided by publisher. |
