Vladimir Jankélévitch and the Question of Forgiveness

Alan Udoff

4.9/5 (13815 ratings)

Description:The essays focus on the work of Vladimir Jankelevitch as a moral philosopher, particularly that aspect of his work dealing with the question of forgiveness. They treat topics such as the place of moral philosophy in relation to his work as a whole, his relationship to contemporary French thought, and the backgrounds of classical Judaic tradition and world literature. The centerpiece of this tableau is Jankelevitch s book Le Pardon (Forgiveness). Chief among the distinguishing characteristics is its rigorous defense of what might be termed a forgiveness free of the entanglements that taint the common understanding of forgiveness what Jankelevitch refers to as pseudo-forgiveness. The advocacy of forgiveness in the name of political or social expediency, as well as the psychological benefit for the victim, are similarly repudiated. In their place, Jankelevitch substitutes a radical forgiveness that is initial, sudden, spontaneous not able to erase the past, but able to create a new future and, thereby, a new relationship to the past. He does not permit even this future, however, to serve as forgiveness s justification. For him, beyond all justifications, beyond justice itself, forgiveness is a gift akin to love.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
