270: Forgive and Forget

from Philosophy Talk Starters Hosted by Philosophy Talk Starters

More at http://philosophytalk.org/shows/forgive-and-forget. At least forgive OR forget. Get things behind you. All good advice for those who don't want their life dominated by the bad things that have happened to them at the hands of others. This advice has also been applied to aggrieved populations following liberating reforms and revolutions, as in South Africa. But what is forgiveness? What are its limits?

John and Ken let bygones be bygones with their guest, Paul Hughes from the University of Michigan-Dearborn.
