Reconciliation and Forgiveness

During 3-4 June 2015, the Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies, the University of Helsinki, the Academy of Finland, and the Philosophical Society of Finland co-organized an international symposium with the title 'Reconciliation and Forgiveness'.

Speakers of the symposium included Martha Nussbaum, who talked on "Anger and Revolutionary Justice".

Another international guest was Avishai Margalit, who has, among many other things, written with Axel Honneth on recognition. This time his topic was "The Sovereignity of Forgiveness".
