The article analyses the role of resentment in The Theory of Moral Sentiments and its connection with the process of mutual sympathy which the impartial spectator assumes fully the resentment of the victim, to consider that his passion is governed by the principles of property and justice. It is argued that the resentment not only fulfills a central role in the theory of punishment of Adam Smith, in that it allows you to remunerate, dissuade and rehabilitate the perpetrator, but it also contributes to the contemporary discussion about forgiveness and reconciliation, as it calls the possibility to overcome resentment and restore the social relationship between the aggressor and the victim. |
