Rather than considering forgiveness exclusively in terms of an encounter between individuals or groups after injury, he argues that availability for the possibility of forgiveness represents an original forgiveness, an essential condition for the prospect of human relations. De Warren develops this notion of original forgiveness through a reflection on the indispensability of trust for human existence, as well as an examination of the refusal or unavailability to forgive in the aftermath of moral harms.De Warren engages in a critical discussion of philosophical figures, including Martin Heidegger, Hannah Arendt, Mikhail Bakhtin, Edmund Husserl, Gabriel Marcel, Emmanuel Levinas, and Jean Améry, and of literary works by William Shakespeare, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Heinrich von Kleist, Simon Wiesenthal, Herman Melville, and Maurice Sendak. He uses this discussion to show that in trusting another person, we must trust in ourselves to remain available to the possibility of forgiveness for those occasions when the other person betrays a trust, without thereby forgiving anything in advance. Original forgiveness is to remain the other person?s keeper?even when the other has caused harm. Likewise, being another?s keeper calls upon an original beseeching for forgiveness, given the inevitable possibility of blemish or betrayal. 410 0$aStudies in phenomenology and existential philosophy. 606 $aTrust 606 $aForgiveness 615 0$aTrust. 615 0$aForgiveness. 676 $a179.9 700 $aWarren$b Nicolas de$f1969-$01106647 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524679603321 996 $aOriginal forgiveness$92772146 997 $aUNINA
