Forgiveness by Vladimir Jankelevitch, translated by Andrew Kelley

This is a re-release of Jankelevtich's 1967 answer to Hannah Arendt on the nature of forgiveness and  memory. I'm using this for a paper I am writing on restoring political community using the ex ante exploration of political wrongs.  For such a grave topic, Jankelevitch is remarkably playful, and this translation manages to capture the wordplay we are likely to see in the original.  As one of the reviewers blurbed on the back notes, Jankelevitch's project here concerns the "inexhaustible goodness of forgiveness." (Edith Wyschogrod who has written another book I need to get my hands on--An Ethics of Remembering).
