During COVID-19 we have witnessed some commendable acts at the local and broader political levels, but there have also been some questionable behaviours and perhaps even some inexcusable actions and decisions. We cannot wind back the clock but what opportunity is there for forgiveness? How well or poorly do we exercise such a virtue in private and public life and can we forgive our political leaders? What is the role of love and forgiveness as we emerge (hopefully) out of the grips of the virus?
Helping us to answer some of these question we are joined by Professor John Lippitt, Director of the IES (and Champion of the VT podcast project)in this concluding episode.
John is a renowned Kierkegaard Scholar and philosopher with research interest in the virtues among other topics… John has a forthcoming book titled ‘Love’s Forgiveness’, which explores the nature of forgiveness, including the relationship this has to other virtues such as humility, hope and love.
