Forgiveness : a philosophical exploration of Paul Ricoéur and René GirardMarincowitz, Leon Gert 07 June 2012 (has links)
M.A. / This dissertation proposes a theory of forgiveness using the strategy of narrative reconstruction developed by Paul Ricoéur and the mimetic theory of René Girard. This Ricoéurian-Girardian theory of forgiveness is a theory of human subjectivity that includes an understanding of cultural and religious degeneration. It proposes three moments of forgiveness as uncertainty, distance, and humility that signify authentic subjectivity vis-à-vis the quasi-subject prone to violence. This theory of authentic subjectivity is established by a critical use of memory that re/configures narrative through a critical imagination. This theory of forgiveness is developed from the position of the victim/survivor of the traumatic wrong-doing.
