When Should Law Forgive? von Martha Minow

Short book about law and forgiveness. Good but I guess I hoped for a little more. Forgiveness is not really a legal concept, although Minow makes a good case for how law could be better if it could better incorporate aspects of forgiveness. She had a very interesting discussion about “child soldiers” in conflict zones and compared them to very young gang members here at home.

I wish she had spent a bit more time fully defining forgiveness. I guess next up for me is to read this piece at my favorite philosophy reference site: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/forgiveness/

Minow ended her book with a beautiful quote from Paul Boese: “Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future.”… (mehr)
