This is the eight episode of the Conversation series, with special guest speaker Risto Saarinen and with the theme of reconciliation.

Reconciliation is today an established practice of peace and mediation work. While the concept of reconciliation has its religious roots in the Greek and Latin New Testament, the modern practices are also indebted to Hegel’s philosophy. To understand the meaning of reconciliation properly, an interdisciplinary perspective is needed. Professor Risto Saarinen guides us through this complex and multifaceted process.
