Abstract

Forgiveness has only just entered political discourses. The use of forgiveness for the restoration of coexistence was influenced by Christianity, though its meaning and situations of acceptability vary. As opposed to philosophy and political sciences, anthropology pays forgiveness relatively little attention.
