In this episode, Kitty and Brendan speak with Prof. John Lysaker of Emory University (Director of Emory University's Center for Ethics) about his recent book "Hope, Trust and Forgiveness: Essays in Finitude."  The conversation explores forgiveness within the context of ethics. Prof. Lysaker speaks about singularity: the idea that each situation is unique and requires improvisational thinking. We cannot simply create a rule that applies to everyone and every situation as if people were simply substitutable, one for another.  This episode delves deeply into philosophy and the ethics of forgiveness in a rich conversation that rewards close listening.A link to John's excellent book, "Hope, Trust and Forgiveness":https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/H/bo205547565.htmlEmory University's Center for Ethics has excellent year-round programming:https://ethics.emory.edu/As does Emory's Center for Contemplative Science and Compassion-Based Ethics:https://compassion.emory.edu
