Mad Forgiveness. Vladimir Jankélévitch (1903–1985) was a professor of moral philosophy at Sorbonne University for three decades, starting from 1951. He wrote thousands of pages on the essential issues of human life, on virtues – the reality of wisdom, courage, loyalty, sincerity, justice, fairness, modesty, humility, moderation, abnegation, forgiveness, love –, and their opposites, lying and baseness, in an age where these topics were not seen as fashionable at all. Below, I present his thoughts on forgiveness and provide my own translation of the two final chapters of his work, Le pardon.
Keywords: Jankélévitch, forgiveness, moral philosophy, time, memory, absolution, Auschwitz.
