Series: Cambridge Studies in Philosophy & Law
Pages: 208
Description: This book explores the philosophical arguments about the nature of forgiveness, mercy and specific passions in the legal process.
Synopsis: This book focuses on the degree to which certain moral and legal doctrines are rooted in specific passions that are then institutionalised in the form of criminal law. A philosophical analysis is developed of the following questions: when, if ever, should hatred be overcome by sympathy or compassion? What are forgiveness and mercy and to what degree do they require - both conceptually and morally - the overcoming of certain passions and the motivation by other passions? If forgiveness and mercy indeed are moral virtues, what role, if any, should they play in the law?
