«La Mémoire, l'Histoire, l'Oubli» is the philosophical essay by Paul Ricœur, published by Seuil in 2003 in paperback (736 pages, in French).
In this work, Paul Ricœur examines how individual and collective memory, the writing of history and forgetting shape our relationship with the past. He reflects on the reliability of recollection, the claim to truth of historical knowledge and the role of forgiveness, without abandoning the question of identity and time.
The work belongs to the Points Essais collection.
Recommended for readers interested in contemporary philosophy, hermeneutics and theory of history who wish to approach a classic by Paul Ricœur.
Jean Paul Gustave Ricœur was a French philosopher best known for combining phenomenological description with hermeneutics. As such, his thought is within the same tradition as other major hermeneutic phenomenologists, such as Martin Heidegger, Hans-Georg Gadamer, and Gabriel Marcel. In 2000, he was awarded the Kyoto Prize in Arts and Philosophy for having "revolutionized the methods of hermeneutic phenomenology, expanding the study of textual interpretation to include the broad yet concrete domains of mythology, biblical exegesis, psychoanalysis, theory of metaphor, and narrative theory."
