Loving Villains: Virtue in Response to Wrongdoing

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

How should we respond to a wrongdoing of a beloved? Pacovská identifies two possible types of response - a rejecting one and a loving one. She advocates the latter by analysing Augustine's dictum 'hate the sin, love the sinner': we should understand andcondemn the wrongdoing, but avoid judging the wrongdoer as such. That doesn't conflict with a clear perception of what the other has become by his wrongdoing. Pacovská claims that such an attitude to the worst villains is possible only for the most virtuous and saintly characters, invoking Weil's, Murdoch's, Winch's and Gaita's conception of virtue that consists in lucid and truthful love. In the last part, a non-judgmental loving response of compassion is illustrated on the example of Mrs. Bulstrode from Eliot's novel Middlemarch.
