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)"
