Forgiveness and Remembrance examines the complex moral psychology
of forgiving, remembering, and forgetting in personal and political
contexts. It challenges a number of entrenched ideas that pervade
standard philosophical approaches to interpersonal forgiveness and
offers an original account of its moral psychology and the emotions
involved in it. The volume also uses this account to illuminate the
relationship of forgiveness to political reconciliation and
restorative political practices in post-conflict societies. Memory
is another central concern that flows from this, since forgiveness
is tied to memory and to emotions associated with the memory of
injury and injustice. In its political function, memory of
wrongdoing - and of its victims - is embodied in processes of
memorialization, such as the creation of monuments, commemorative
ceremonies, and museums. The book casts light on the underexplored
relationship of memorialization to transitional justice and
politically consequential interpersonal forgiveness. It examines
the symbolism and the symbolic moral significance of
memorialization as a political practice, reflects on its
relationship to forgiveness, and, finally, argues that there are
moral responsibilities associated with memorialization that belong
to international actors as well as to states.
