Before Forgiveness. The Origins of a Moral Idea. - KONSTAN, D.,
The Origins of a Moral Idea
KORTE INHOUD
'Konstan?s book is one of those studies that increases the reader?s puzzlement and thus makes one seriously reflect on the subject-matter in question. As for the search for the passages disproving Konstan?s claim, it soon becomes clear that Konstan has already gone about considering almost every instance of ?forgiveness? or reconciliation in classical literature. (...) Konstan?s book is an indispensable survey for anyone dealing with ancient ethics, not least because of the wide range of texts it introduces and discusses. It can be seen as both an interesting and challenging contribution to contemporary discussion of the ancient inspiration for modern forms of virtue ethics.' (JAKUB JIRSA in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2011.08.15).
