Description: An inquiry into the problematic of perjury or lying and forgiveness from one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century. One only ever asks forgiveness for what is unforgivable. From this contradiction begins Perjury and Pardon a two - year series of seminars given by Jacques Derrida at the cole des hautes tudes en sciences sociales in Paris in the late 1990s. In these sessions Derrida focuses on the philosophical ethical juridical and political stakes of the concept of responsibility. His primary goal is to develop what he calls a problematic of lying by studying diverse forms of betrayal: infidelity denial false testimony perjury unkept promises desecration sacrilege and blasphemy. Although forgiveness is a notion inherited from multiple traditions the process of forgiveness eludes those traditions disturbing the categories of knowledge sense history and law that attempt to circumscribe it. Derrida insists on the unconditionality of forgiveness and shows how its complex temporality destabilizes all ideas of presence and even of subjecthood. For Derrida forgiveness cannot be reduced to repentance punishment retribution or salvation and it is inseparable from and haunted by the notion of perjury. Through close readings of Kant Kierkegaard Shakespeare Plato Jank l vitch Baudelaire and Kafka as well as biblical texts Derrida explores diverse notions of the evil or malignancy of lying while developing a complex account of forgiveness across different traditions.
