Abstract

In recent decades, memory has become one of the major concepts and a dominant topic in philosophy, sociology, politics, history, science, cultural studies, literary theory, and the discussions of trauma and the Holocaust. In contemporary debates, the concept of memory is often used rather broadly and thus not always unambiguously. For this reason, the clarification of the range of the historical meaning of the concept of memory is a very important and urgent task. This volume shows how the concept of memory has been used and appropriated in different historical circumstances and how it has changed throughout the history of philosophy. In ancient philosophy, memory was considered a repository of sensible and mental impressions and was complemented by recollection-the process of recovering the content of past thoughts and perceptions. Such an understanding of memory led to the development both of mnemotechnics and the attempts to locate memory within the structure of cognitive faculties. In contemporary philosophical and historical debates, memory frequently substitutes for reason by becoming a predominant capacity to which one refers when one wants to explain not only the personal identity but also a historical, political, or social phenomenon. In contemporary interpretation, it is memory, and not reason, that acts in and through human actions and history, which is a critical reaction to the overly rationalized and simplified concept of reason in the Enlightenment. Moreover, in modernity memory has taken on one of the most distinctive features of reason: it is thought of as capable not only of recollecting past events and meanings, but also itself. In this respect, the volume can be also taken as a reflective philosophical attempt by memory to recall itself, its functioning and transformations throughout its own history. -- BNF

Abstract

D'après les auteurs, les communautés et théologiens se penchent préférentiellement sur certains auteurs ou certaines moments de l'histoire chrétienne, selon les époques, les cultures ou les questions du moment. Ils analysent les raisons et les conséquences théologiques des sélections qui s'opèrent ainsi par la mémoire chrétienne en se fondant sur des études de cas d'auteurs contemporains. ©Electre 2015

Abstract

Remembering presents a study of remembering that is fondly attentive to its rich diversity, its intricacy of structure and detail, and its wide-ranging efficacy in our everyday, life-world experience.... genuinely pioneering, it ranges far beyond what established traditions in philosophy and psychology have generally taken the functions and especially the limits of memory to be." -- The Humanistic Psychologist Edward S. Casey provides a thorough description of the varieties of human memory, including recognizing and reminding, reminiscing and commemorating, body memory and place memory. The preface to the new edition extends the scope of the original text to include issues of collective memory, forgetting, and traumatic memory, and aligns this book with Casey's newest work on place and space. This ambitious study demonstrates that nothing in our lives is unaffected by remembering.

Abstract

Un conflit public, souvent passionné, a surgi ces trente dernières années entre l’histoire, science du passé menée par les historiens, et la mémoire, célébration du passé par les vainqueurs et les victimes, et organisé par les Etats. Pour faire bref : une polémique a surgi du fait que Ricoeur a été accusé de minimiser le rôle du génocide des juifs (Shoah), ou de ne pas marquer assez la singularité de la Shoah. Le livre est construit en trois parties : sa réception et les débats qu’il a suscités ; des réflexions qui précisent la portée de certains thèmes du livre (en particulier sur le rôle et les moyens de la mémoire) ; une réflexion philosophique sur l’histoire et le métier d’historien. Le livre, collectif, est l’hommage du Seuil à son grand auteur philosophe pour le centième anniversaire de sa naissance. C’est un livre de philosophie, certes, mais ses questions sont liées à des conflits très actuels
