COWL 135: Path of Forgiveness

University of California, Santa Cruz

Explores forgiveness as both interpersonal relationships and political questions in a broader historical context. The thesis of the course is that forgiveness is a radical act and a major theme in philosophy and religion where it serves as a necessary step toward social solidarity in our contemporary moment of hyperpolarization. Explores how forgiveness can heal social divisions such as those constructed around religion, political affiliation, and identity. The course closes with historical examples of forgiveness in action, such as reparations and prison abolitionist movements.
