Abstract
My aim is to think about the logic of forgiveness as a manifestation of justice based on a philosophical contribution from Paul Ricoeur. I also intend to think the role of christian tradition in laws and politics from the perspective of justice. This debate will be articulated from three fundamental assumptions: first, the logic of forgiveness is beyond forgetfulness and revenge; second, forgiveness belongs to the logic of gift and gratuity; finally, the idea of rehabilitation present in the logic of forgiveness and in the judicially justice. It is about to rebuild the capacity to be good and fair. In my opinion, it is a way to give sense for religious discourse in our secular culture.
