"On Radical Forgiveness, Duty, and Justice"
No full textPhilosophers have grappled with clarifying both the nature and ethical status of acts of forgiveness. Much discussion has been devoted to whether, say, acts of forgiveness can be performed by outside parties or whether such acts should be thought of as supererogatory rather than as moral requirements. In what follows, I will explore questions pertaining to ‘radical’ acts of forgiveness as they relate to considerations of duties and justice. Acts of forgiveness that tend to move us the most are often justified by appeals to self-duty. I will survey recent examples and show a possible philosophical basis for understanding them in terms of self-duty. This kind of basis has been virtually ignored by the vast philosophical literature on forgiveness. I attempt to show both that considerations of self-duty can provide a secular basis for justifying radical acts of forgiveness and that problems associated with this kind of forgiveness and justice are not as serious as they are often taken to be
Should Home Buyers Choose a Short- or Long-Term Mortgage?
No full textThe choice of home mortgage term is one of the most difficult decisions for mortgage borrowers; especially, those who can afford a short-term mortgage payment as well as a long-term mortgage payment. Since there are many factors that influence the mortgage term choice with additional investment opportunities, it is not easy to make a clear-cut decision. Using the Monte Carlo simulation, we find that while the individual marginal tax rate is the key factor for mortgage borrowers who plan a short-term home ownership; the mortgage interest rate is the key factor for mortgage borrowers who plan a long-term home ownership. Mortgage term decisions can be quite different due to the opposing effects of major factors we propose. If, however, the home mortgage market correctly reflects information about those factors, it is expected that mortgage borrowers individually have a preference for a short- or long-term mortgage
