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

Dans une société prétendument apaisée, la vérité en histoire est aussi contingente que la mémoire est incertaine. La Seconde Guerre mondiale en est le champ d'observation exceptionnel, que l'auteur tente de passer au crible de la démarche de description de l'histoire à partir du présent.

Publié en 1896, Matière et mémoire est le livre qui imposa Bergson comme un philosophe de premier plan. Il y aborde une question philosophique essentielle, celle des relations du corps et de l'esprit. Par le choix de sa méthode, il fait dialoguer d'une manière singulière la métaphysique a et la psychologie, l'analyse des concepts et les apports de la science, alors en plein renouvellement. Pour lui, pas de connaissance de l'esprit sans connaissance de la mémoire et de ses défaillances, que psychologues et neurologues ont commencé à appréhender; pas de connaissance du corps sans une interrogation sur la matière, qui doit rencontrer celle des physiciens. Si Bergson, en soutenant que la vie mentale ne se réduit pas à la vie cérébrale, s'inscrit dans le débat intellectuel de son temps, la portée générale de l'ouvrage invite à réexaminer des questions qui, plus d'un siècle plus tard, sont toujours les nôtres.

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
