The theme of this book is the complex moral psychology of forgiving and remembering in both personal and political contexts. It presents an expanded emotive account of interpersonal forgiveness that challenges a number of entrenched ideas that pervade standard philosophical approaches to it, and uses this account to illuminate how forgiveness can advance the goals of transitional justice and political reconciliation in post-conflict societies.

Offering a detailed exploration of human `care' in its various guises: concern for and commitment to individuals, ideals, and causes, Blustein focuses on the nature and value of personal integrity and intimacy, and on the questions they raise for traditional moral theory
