Topic
When we realise we’ve done something wrong, it’s appropriate for us to apologise and, if possible, compensate the victim. In response to an apology, others may offer acceptance or even forgiveness. Forgiveness is not only important for the perpetrator, but also the victim: it can help the victim move beyond her victimhood and away from angry blame. Furthermore, forgiveness is an essential ingredient for building and maintaining social cooperation: without forgiveness, maintaining a functional society would be hard. What is it to forgive, and when ought we forgive others?
