ON MAN’S ONTOLOGICAL INCAPABILITY TO FORGIVE
ON MAN’S ONTOLOGICAL INCAPABILITY TO FORGIVE

Summary/Abstract: Forgiveness is undoubtedly a topic that requires an inter and transdisciplinary approach, but whose understanding is closely related to revealing the human nature’s mystery. The imperative of self-knowledge is essential to avoid a simplistic approach to forgiveness; therefore, based on texts research and ideational, cultural and historical contexts dedicated to this issue and on our own life experience, we propose an analysis of the inner trigger of forgiveness, a metaphysical perspective on this phenomenon, also considering the psychological, historical, moral and theological explanation of forgiveness. This article proposes a new paradigm of forgiveness, designed to draw a profound attention to the causes underlying our actions, clarifying somehow the relationship between forgiveness and happy oblivion.
