Building on a close examination of the writings of Holocaust-survivor Jean Ame?ry, Brudholm argues that the preservation of resentment or the resistance to calls for forgiveness can be the reflex of a moral protest and ambition that might be as permissible, humane or honourable as the willingness to forgive. 410 0$aPolitics, history, and social change. 606 $aForgiveness 606 $aResentment 606 $aReconciliation 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aForgiveness. 615 0$aResentment. 615 0$aReconciliation. 676 $a179/.9 700 $aBrudholm$b Thomas$f1969-$01026262 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453264303321 996 $aResentment's virtue$92441096 997 $aUNINA
