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.

This volume contains the intellectual autobiography of the phenomenologist Paul Ricoeur, critical essays by 25 leading philosophers and Ricoeur's replies to these criticisms. Ricoeur's writings cover a range of topics, from literary criticism and metaphysics, to linguistics and psychoanalysis.
