SUMMARY:The Im/Possibility of Forgiveness in Modern Jewish Thought (Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:The concept of forgiveness is central to Jewish life.  It has inspired much philosophical reflection and still provokes many questions.  How can we forgive someone who has wronged us?  Are we obligated to do so?  Does forgiveness require repentance?  Are there actions that are unforgiveable?  Any question about forgiveness is related to other important ones concerning atonement\, mercy\, and justice.  These questions have also been considered by other philosophical and religious traditions\, which in turn have influenced Judaism.  Inspired by a conference of French-Jewish intellectuals in the early 1960s\, who gathered to consider the possibility of forgiveness after the Holocaust\, we are revisiting these questions in this workshop.  Conference participants will consider different answers to these questions from a variety of philosophical perspectives within modern Jewish thought.  Some papers will examine and reevaluate the debates among French-Jewish thinkers in the 1960s\, others will look at earlier and current discussions.  We hope that you will join us. \nSchedule\nSunday\, November 14\nZoom link \nSession 1\, 11am-12:30pm\nModerator:  Bob Gibbs (University of Toronto) \nBenjamin Pollock (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem): “Shame\, Confession\, and the Forgiveness of the Self in Rosenzweig’s Account of Revelation.’ \nChristian Wiese (Goethe-University Frankfurt): TBD \nSession 2\, 1-2:30pm\nModerator:  Reinier Munk (VU University of Amsterdam) \nSol Goldberg (University of Toronto): “Antisemitism and Forgiveness” \nMichael Morgan (Indiana University): “Levinas and the Interpersonal Context for Forgiveness” \nSession 3\, 3-4:30\nModerator:  Leora Batnitzky (Princeton University) \nDylan Shaul (University of Toront): “Derrida on Forgiving the Unforgivable: Forgiveness Terminable and Interminable” \nAlexandra Zirkle (University of Buffalo): “Forgiveness\, Atonement\, and Apotheosis: Crafting Modern Jewish Thought through the Language of Sacrifice” \n  \nMonday\, November 15\, 2:00-3:30pm\nZoom link \nModerator: Meirav Jones (McMaster University) \nJudah Isseroff (Princeton University): “Arendt’s Jewish Jesus: Forgiveness in the Gospels\, the Mishnah\, and The Human Condition” \nMichael Rosenthal (University of Toronto): “Agency\, Sin\, and the Spinozistic Paradox of Forgiveness” \n  \nMonday\, November 15th at 4:00pm (Keynote Panel)\nZoom link \nModerator: Michael Rosenthal (University of Toronto) \nOri Werdiger (University of Toronto): “Léon Askenazi on Forgiving God\, Perpetrators\, and Victims” \nYnon Wygoda (Hebrew University of Jerusalem): “Can Forgiveness Oscillate?  Jankélévitch Revisited” \n  \nThe event is sponsored by the Grafstein Professorship in Jewish Philosophy.
