Abstract

The intention of this study is to reflect on the importance that the experience of forgiveness occupies in the process of human constitution, both through the psychoanalysis and human development theories of Donald Winnicott and through Christian theology's contributions to the subject. Both perspectives enable the understanding of forgiveness through two different qualities: the first is the silent forgiveness, which is one's await for another's maturity; the second is an answer to an experience of repentance, which arouses in men an explicit request to be forgiven. Finally, there is also a discussion regarding forgiveness as a learning of the care received by someone, as well as one's possibility of being able to take care of the world.
