Cfp: "Ricoeur: On Memory, Politics and Forgiveness," Faculty of Philosophy and Regent’s Park College, University of Oxford, March 20-21, 2009.

Since Ricoeur's death in 2005 there has been a constant stream of interest in his Memory, History, Forgetting (2004), as well as Reflections on The Just (2007); these richly challenging works on some of the most timely and deeply human concerns being debated by philosophers today are ripe for discussion not only by philosophers, but also by theologians, political theorists and all those thinking about life, loss, evil and the need for justice alongside of ‘a difficult forgiveness’. Speakers to include: Dr Pamela Sue Anderson (Oxford), Professor David Klemm (Iowa-Glasgow) and Professor William Schweiker (Chicago); Chairs: Professor Paul Fiddes (Oxford) and Professor Morny Joy (Calgary).
