This is a reminder for:
Title: James Ley
The long familiar ethics of memory".
"The ethics of memory concerns claims that we should remember, or should
not forget, certain events or features of the past. These claims are made
in relation to both individuals and groups, and so concern
both 'individual' and 'collective' memory. In this paper I consider Avishai
Margalit's outline of an ethics of memory (Harvard UP 2002) in the context
of recent findings in cognitive psychology (retrieval-induced forgetting
and SS-RIF) and the phenomena of 'language evolution' described in two
recent letters to the journal Nature. I argue that these sources afford us
consideration of the means by which human action affects the content of
individual and collective memory. And by saying how it is that action
affects the content of memory it becomes possible to describe the
foundation of claims that we should remember, or should not forget. I argue
that the foundation of these claims is one long-familiar to us. The ethics
of memory is best understood in relation to Aristotelian virtue ethics."
