| Sumario: | The dominant approach in recent literature on forgiveness seems excessively moralizing. This, we argue, stems from the attempt to offer an explanation that subsumes all instances of forgiveness under a single, monolithic paradigm. We propose to defend a view that acknowledges to a greater extent the heterogeneity of cases of forgiveness and thus also has a deflationary effect on moralizing excesses. Identifying different types of interpersonal relationships and their characteristic expectations of reciprocity will be the basis for understanding what constitutes an offense and the various conditions for forgiveness under different circumstances. |
