On Mercy in Politics
View through CrossRef
Abstract
This chapter offers a provisional account of the virtue of mercy and defends its potential utility for public discourse about migration. It defends, first, the thought that mercy is the proper name for the virtue under consideration. It defends, further, the thought that the appeal to mercy is neither sectarian nor perverse. It offers some reasons, finally, to think that the practice of justice is supported by the practice of mercy; a society in which the virtue of mercy is ignored loses one site at which the moral value of human beings might be reasserted.
