Amidst the cacophony of claims made about forgiveness, this book serves to aid in an effort to put “forgiveness in perspective.” Marieke Smit and Christopher R. Allers have collected here ten essays written by twelve authors from around the world and across the disciplinary spectrum including philosophers, practitioners, psychologists, literary theorists, and prison chaplains. All the essays offer a perspective on forgiveness and put forgiveness in perspective whether by tracing what forgiveness “is,” how this religious inheritance is worked out in our secularizing societies, how forgiveness works in our quotidian experience, or a particular manifestation in a particular context such as marriage, prison, or after an abortion, to name a few. The multi-disciplinary character of this book provides a multi-disciplinary appeal as well as a resource to enlarge one’s own perspective on this perplexing, enigmatic, and wonderfully complex concept of forgiveness.

Sind wir zu natürlicher oder politischer Feindschaft unvermeidlich verurteilt? Der vorliegende Band zeigt, dass Feindschaft immer wieder neu in Prozessen der Verfeindung entsteht, deren fragwürdiger "Sinn" hier zur Diskussion gestellt wird. Zu einer "realistischen", nüchternen Betrachtung dieser Prozesse, gehört es auch, das Verhältnis zwischen Feindschaft und Fremdheit zu befragen, Beispiele der näheren und ferneren Vergangenheit heranzuziehen, das scheinbar natürliche Verhältnis von Feindschaft und Krieg zu hinterfragen, Radikalisierungen der Feindschaft zu untersuchen, Feindschaft in ihrer Funktion als Identitäts- oder Gemeinschaftsbegründung in den Blick zu nehmen, den moralischen Umgang mit Feindschaft zu überprüfen, die Formen und Strukturen der Imagination von Feinden zu interpretieren - und selbstverständlich die klassischen Bestimmungen von Feindschaft in der modernen politischen Philosophie zu reflektieren. Der interdisziplinär angelegte Band verbindet exemplarische mit systematisch ansetzenden Studien, die sich gleichsam als Probebohrungen im Nährboden von Gewalt und Krieg verstehen lassen. Sie versprechen, einem neuen, nicht einfach auf zweifelhafte Anthropologien zurückgreifenden Nachdenken über Feindschaft den Weg zu bahnen.

In this original study Stuart Carroll transforms our understanding of Europe between 1500 and 1800 by exploring how ordinary people felt about their enemies and the violence it engendered. Enmity, a state or feeling of mutual opposition or hostility, became a major social problem during the transition to modernity. He examines how people used the law, and how they characterised their enmities and expressed their sense of justice or injustice. Through the examples of early modern Italy, Germany, France and England, we see when and why everyday animosities escalated and the attempts of the state to control and even exploit the violence that ensued. This book also examines the communal and religious pressures for peace, and how notions of good neighbourliness and civil order finally worked to underpin trust in the state. Ultimately, enmity is not a relic of the past; it remains one of the greatest challenges to contemporary liberal democracy.
