Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2333 This course examines the possibilities and limits of forgiveness, apology and mercy in politics, and the role mourning plays in recovery from violence. In our readings we will focus on specific historic and contemporary instances of forgiveness and apology, violence and recovery; but our overall approach to the topic will be philosophical: The course will propose a thought experiment wherein we subject our ideas and presuppositions about what justice is, what it can and cannot be, and what forgiveness is, and what it can and cannot do, to a critical reappraisal. ; Crosslisted: PJHR, Philosophy; Prerequisite(s): PEAC 101 or 201, a Philosophy course, or instructor consent; Enrollment Limit: 25 Div: III; Humanities (; Hav: HU) |
