"Forgiveness does not eliminate the demands of justice because it does not imply capitulating to evil, but recognizing and rejecting it."

Mariano Crespo, researcher of the ICS of the University of Navarra, stated that "it is only possible to forgive when one distinguishes between person and action".

"Forgiveness consists in cancelling the account of the offender's guilt. But it does not eliminate the demands of justice because it does not imply capitulating to evil, but recognizing it and rejecting it". This was the opinion of Mariano Crespo, researcher of project 'Natural Law and Rationality internship' of the ICS of the University of Navarra, during a session of the Ethics and Society Forum organized by the Institute for Culture and Society (ICS). Also speaking at seminar was Sergio Sánchez-Migallón, Dean of the School Ecclesiastic of Philosophy.

Forgiveness is only possible," said researcher researcher , "when we distinguish between person and action. This is its ultimate condition: if in the one who has inflicted an evil on us goal we simply see our offender, if we are not able to perceive that his person is not exhausted in his action, it is very difficult to forgive".

Repentance, fundamental for forgiveness

 "The main cooperation to forgiveness consists in showing repentance," he said. According to him, forgiveness belongs to daily moral life and "affects all of life", but he considered that "its analysis is difficult because it is not easy to forgive".

The Ethics and Society Forum consists of a series of sessions that address issues related to the improvement of communal life and society, whether from the perspective of ethics, legal theory, Economics, political and social Philosophy , or the social sciences in general.

The activity is open to researchers, professors and students of postgraduate program from all over the campus. The goal is threefold: it aims to be a vehicle to disseminate the work of the ICS among the entire university community, to promote interdisciplinary dialogue and to encourage ICS researchers to receive feedback from other experts on the work they are developing.
