In addition to developing the import of these legal insights for interpretation of the Phenomenology, I will also suggest that forgiveness's resolution of the failed legal frameworks is helpful in the context of the contemporary skepticism (exhibited by feminist, race-theorist, queer, communitarian, and democratic perspectives, among others) regarding the purported critical efficacy and neutrality of legalism and the connection of legal advocacy with the "natural" aspects of human identity. In order to construct the ground upon which to show the relevance of Hegel's theory of forgiveness to his theory of law, I will discuss: a the forms of social life in the Phenomenology that are organized according to law and right; b forgiveness' resolution of the difficulties they confront; and c t...

SALT LAKE CITY -- As Gary Ceran stood behind his smashed car, he could see the double body bag just a few feet away from him that contained his wife and son. It was Christmas Eve 2006. Ceran's car had just been plowed into by an intoxicated driver. His wife, a son and a daughter were killed in an instant. With flashing red and blue lights illuminating the night, Ceran looked at his deceased loved ones and the Christmas presents strewn across the road.

A short roll call of the most brutal international barbarities in living memory- including the Holocaust, Pol Pot's Cambodian genocide, ethnic cleansing in the Balkans, South African apartheid, and Hutu-Tutsi massacres in Rwanda- is enough to provide insights into the complexity and magnitude of the forgiveness problem. An interesting link between Biggar's theological and Trimble's political presentations was that both speakers referred to the parable of the prodigal son and therefore, by implication, to the centrality of the teachings of Jesus on the obligation to forgive wrongdoers.

Coming home is a familiar topic to Jews. The theme of belonging, and more often surviving, is inherent in the people's liturgy, history and art. The recently celebrated holiday of Passover is about finding refuge, planting seeds and securing legacy. Which makes the conversation in Israel Horovitz's "Lebensraum," the closing production of the Jewish Repertory Theatre's eighth season, so pertinent. To an audience that's used to seeing plays, both dramatic and comedic, about the origins and consequences of displacement, Horovitz asks whether returning home is as important as we might think.

In addition to these readings, Derrida briefly evokes Arendt's remarks on the decline of the nation-state and the rights of refugees in several analyses of hospitality and cosmopolitanism, and he speaks of her in discussions of Jankélévitch and forgiveness, as well as in remarks on the name of democracy. Of more interest to me is a conclusion Arendt draws from the meaning of these terms, and the short discussion that follows.\n This picture is easily refuted by the sophistication of each thinker's positionArendt is not always or everywhere so free with the tradition, sometimes seeming to suggest that contradictions in thinking cannot be dissolved, and Derrida has explicitly challenged the distinction between innovation and conservation.46 Such a view also ignores the precise ways in wh...
