本文在汉娜·阿伦特对个人之间宽恕的定义的背景下讨论了宽恕作为一个概念，及其对集体或机构之间宽恕的影响。阿伦特将宽恕的能力定义为一种能力，即从过去所做的错误中拯救另一个人的能力，这是她在宽恕与承诺之间的联系中所反映的一种哲学。阿伦特关于集体被宽恕的不平等性的论证是：首先，不存在集体道德罪责，个人的错误行为不应被视为对集体的偏见，集体认罪就是为真正有罪的人开脱。
The article discusses forgiving as a concept in the context of Hannah Arendt's definition of forgiveness between individual persons and its implications towards forgiveness between and amongst collectives or institution. Arendt define the faculty of forgiving as the ability to redeem another from the inability to undo the wrong done in the past which is a philosophy she reflected in the connection between forgiving and promising. The author presents Arendt's argument on the imparity of collectives being forgiven, first, there is no such thing as collective moral guilt, individual wrongdoing should not be taken in such a way as to prejudice the collective and to collectively admit guilt is to exculpate those who are really guilty.
