Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Forgiveness and Love
Glen Pettigrove · 2012
74/100
👍 Worth It
Pettigrove's argument — that forgiveness does not require a repentant wrongdoer, and that the neglected virtue of grace deserves serious philosophical attention — is genuinely original and carefully sustained. Reviews in Ethics, Mind, and Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews confirm this is a significant contribution to analytic moral philosophy. It is not for general readers, but within its specialist audience it is clearly worth the investment.
