Ricoeur, Paul Memory, History, Forgetting

A landmark work, 'Memory, History, Forgetting' examines the reciprocal relationship between remembering and forgetting, revealing how this symbiosis influences both the perception of historical experience and the production of historical narrative. A momentous achievement in Ricoeur's career, this book provides the crucial link between his 'Time and Narrative' and 'Oneself as Another', and his recent reflections on ethics and the problems of responsibility and representation.
