The Work of Forgetting: Or, How Can We Make the Future Possible? draws attention to the limits of the academic field of memory studies. It argues that the faculty of memory offers an inadequate response to the challenges of the present. The book sets up a dialogue between the philosophies of forgetting that underlie the writings of Friedrich Nietzsche, Walter Benjamin and Gilles Deleuze, and the philosophies of memory that inform the work of Sigmund Freud, Martin Heidegger and Hannah Arendt. It builds on the idea that history is inseparable from a type of transience that cannot be counter-acted by the preserving work of memory and develops a new understanding of the phenomenon of forgetting in which the passage of time is asserted in thought and thus made productive.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 207mmItem Length: 143mmItem Width: 16mmItem Weight: 358gAuthor: Stephane SymonsGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: Philosophical ProjectionsTopic: Literary CriticismRelease Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
