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.
