HolmgrenIowa State UniversityMany philosophers have recentlyclaimed that unless certain conditionsare met, criminal offenders deserveto be punished and we should resentthose who have wronged us personally.Conversely, Margaret Holmgren positsthat we should forgive those who haveill-treated us, but only after workingthrough a process of addressing thewrong. Holmgren then reflects on thekinds of laws and social practices aproperly forgiving society would adopt.‘Margaret Holmgren’s book is a daringattempt to defend a new paradigmof forgiveness that would radicallyreorient our attitudes toward thosewho wrong us and our way of thinkingabout punishment and criminal law.No doubt the discussion it provokeswill be intense.’George W.
