Description

Book Synopsis
Characterizes the 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.

Trade Review
"Vladimir jankelevitch was one of the most singular voices of twentieth-century French philosophy. Although he exerted an extraordinary influence on several generations of French philosophers, writers, and students, his name is, unfortunately, barely known in the English-speaking world.... Vladimir Jankelevitch's philosophical work will continue to survive the changing climate of philosophy." (Critical Inquiry)"
