Recenzii
'Rarely has a philosopher offered his fervent students and readers such depth, knowledge and sensitivity as Charles Griswold has done in this volume that deals with one of the most urgent topics facing humankind today.' Elie Wiesel
'Griswold's arguments are deep, far-reaching and all the more effective for the many interesting examples, drawn from recent events and biographical accounts. He sets a paradigm before us, in which one person injures another, seeks forgiveness and then receives it … Griswold tells us much about forgiveness, about the mental processes involved in it, and the way in which interpersonal relations are shaped by it.' Roger Scruton, The Times Literary Supplement
'This carefully reasoned, highly insightful and beautifully written book is essential reading for anyone interested in forgiveness, apology and reconciliation, in the private or public sphere. Accessible to the general reader and practical politician as well as to scholars, it will undoubtedly set the parameters of debate on forgiveness and apology for years to come.' Geoffrey Scarre, The Times Higher Education Supplement
'Forgiveness: A Philosophical Exploration is a masterful treatment of a central issue in moral philosophy. Well-written, penetrating, and rich in details, this book discusses a number of related topics including interpersonal forgiveness, political apology, pardon, and civic reconciliation … it is clear that this book is a remarkable achievement that will undoubtedly shape, in enormously beneficial ways, future philosophical debates on the topic of forgiveness.' Ernesto V. Garcia, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
'One of the lessons of modernity is that there is no consolation in the human condition, unless perhaps it consists in somehow reconciling ourselves to evils so sublimely absurd that at each new moment they test our capacities for acceptance. In such a world, an understanding of forgiveness - the concept of it, the varieties, its human sources and limits - is more central to life than ever before. Charles Griswold's clearheaded and perceptive new book explores forgiveness both analytically and realistically, helping us toward all these forms of understanding.' Allen Wood, Stanford University
'Forgiveness by Charles Griswold is a philosopher's attempt to hone the complexity of interpersonal and political forgiveness to make them accessible. The book honors sources both historical and current, and while it is not primarily religious nor psychological it includes both as it integrates an enormous range of material with deep intelligence and insight. The book is well referenced, quite readable and taught me things about forgiveness I did not know.' Frederic Luskin, PH.D Director Stanford Forgiveness Projects, Director of the Stanford Forgiveness Project (www.learningtoforgive.com) and author of Forgive for Good
'Charles Griswold's Forgiveness is a truly wonderful book, which not only wisely and eloquently treats a significant feature of the moral life and moral psychology, but also sheds unexpected light on moral theory and the history of ethics. The book also includes a fascinating discussion of the role of apology, forgiveness, and reconciliation in political life during the last fifty years.' Stephen Darwall, University of Michigan
'This in depth study of a topical issue will be accessible and of great interest to public library patrons as well as scholars, and it is highly recommended for both.' Leon H. Brody, Falls Church, Virginia
'Anyone who wishes to reflect more deeply on the nature of forgiveness and reconciliation will find the book essential and hugely enriching reading. I cannot recommend it highly enough.' Network Review
'One finishes Griswold's Forgiveness wanting to continue the conversation, to find out yet more. that the account raises so many questions is a clear strength of what is also a wide-ranging text that somehow manages to discuss Ancient notions of forgiveness, offer its own positive and countercultural account and engage with contemporary politics, and all in a refreshingly accessible fashion.' Journal of Value Inquiry
