About the editors
Allen Speight is Associate Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Institute for Philosophy and Religion at Boston University. His work has ranged over a number of issues at the intersection of philosophy and religion, from the concept of forgiveness to the relation between art and religion in post-Kantian thought. A recipient of Fulbright, DAAD, NEH and Berlin Prize fellowships, his research has largely focused on the German philosophical tradition, especially Hegel and German Idealism. He is the author of Hegel, Literature and the Problem of Agency (Cambridge University Press, 2001) and The Philosophy of G.W.F. Hegel (McGill-Queen's University Press/Acumen, 2008) and the editor, with Brady Bowman, of Hegel: Heidelberg Writings (Cambridge University Press, 2009).
Alice MacLachlan is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at York University and president of the Canadian Society for Women in Philosophy. Her teaching and research interests lie in theoretical ethics, feminist philosophy, and social and political philosophy. Recent publications include The Philosophical Controversy over Political Forgiveness (forthcoming in Public Forgiveness in Post-Conflict Contexts, Intersentia 2012) The State of Sorry: Official Apologies and their Absence in the Journal of Human Rights (2010), Unreasonable Resentments in the Journal of Social Philosophy (2009), and Practicing Imperfect Forgiveness in Feminist Ethics and Social Philosophy: Theorizing the Non-Ideal (ed.

She is currently completing a manuscript on forgiveness, as well as beginning a new project titled Sorry Stories: Theorizing Apologies in Personal and Political Contexts funded by the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
