Abstract
En La Condición Humana, Arendt afirma que “el descubridor del papel del perdón en la esfera de los asuntos humanos fue Jesús de Nazaret”. En lo que sigue, revisaremos el uso antiguo del verbo griego sungignôskô. En nuestra lectura, esta sungnomé griega cumple el mismo papel que Arendt advierte en la supuesta novedad cristiana —la “mutua exoneración de lo que se ha hecho”. Comparar esta “novedad” con los usos antiguos de este verbo griego nos permitirá entender en qué consiste realmente el descubrimiento que Arendt atribuye a Jesús, y sugerir que decir que los griegos desconocían la facultad de perdonar es, al menos, una imprecisión.
In The Human Condition, Arendt claims “the discoverer of the role of forgiveness in the sphere of human affairs was Jesus of Nazareth”. In what follows, we will revise the ancient use of the Greek verb sungignôskô which, in our opinion, fulfills the same role that Arendt finds in this alleged Christian novelty —the “mutual exoneration of what has been done”— not only to understand what would the actual discovery Arendt attributes to Jesus imply, but because we believe claiming the Greeks were unaware of the faculty of forgiveness is inaccurate.
