Abstract
The dual focus of this book—to combine an overview of European philosophical traditions on forgiveness with a presentation of different cultural conceptions of moral repair—is reflected in the two divisions that structure this volume but which, nevertheless, directly refer to one another. Rather than claiming one forgiveness approach more morally superior to the other, the chapters in this book describe a plural and dynamic cross-cultural discourse driven by the question of how to overcome guilt peacefully—the answers to which have always been subject to great controversy, as the articles in this volume also illustrate.
