Repentance and the Right to Forgiveness

Court Lewis builds a genuinely original argument — that sincere repentance creates a moral right to forgiveness — and the scholarly community engaged seriously enough to publish a full symposium on it, which is a meaningful signal of substance. The eirenic rights framework is not standard fare in forgiveness ethics, so it adds something real to the literature. Readers outside academic philosophy will find it dense going, but for the intended audience this is a solid, rigorously constructed contribution.
