Book Synopsis In Praise of Forgetting by : David Rieff
Download or read book In Praise of Forgetting written by David Rieff and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A leading contrarian thinker explores the ethical paradox at the heart of history's wounds The conventional wisdom about historical memory is summed up in George Santayana's celebrated phrase, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Today, the consensus that it is moral to remember, immoral to forget, is nearly absolute. And yet is this right? David Rieff, an independent writer who has reported on bloody conflicts in Africa, the Balkans, and Central Asia, insists that things are not so simple. He poses hard questions about whether remembrance ever truly has, or indeed ever could, "inoculate" the present against repeating the crimes of the past. He argues that rubbing raw historical wounds--whether self-inflicted or imposed by outside forces--neither remedies injustice nor confers reconciliation. If he is right, then historical memory is not a moral imperative but rather a moral option--sometimes called for, sometimes not. Collective remembrance can be toxic. Sometimes, Rieff concludes, it may be more moral to forget. Ranging widely across some of the defining conflicts of modern times--the Irish Troubles and the Easter Uprising of 1916, the white settlement of Australia, the American Civil War, the Balkan wars, the Holocaust, and 9/11--Rieff presents a pellucid examination of the uses and abuses of historical memory. His contentious, brilliant, and elegant essay is an indispensable work of moral philosophy.

Download or read book In Praise of Oxford written by Thomas Seccombe and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-26 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Praise of Oxford: An Anthology in Prose and Verse But for all that the adjustment of Oxford to the needs of the national life has been perhaps far more complete and efficient than its critics, or even than those who seek to remedy its defects by engineering schools and working-men students, imagine. In its earlier ages Oxford was an European school, swarming with poor students and hungry foreigners prepared to vindicate its claim of supremacy over Paris or Bologna by an immediate appeal to the knife. By the time of Elizabeth Oxford appears to have learned the lesson of the Norman Conquest, that Englishmen need governors. It endeavoured to supply them on national lines by becoming the nursery of the rich. It has succeeded ever since to a certain extent in subjecting the sons of the rich to a more or less voluntary discipline as a preparation for those places on the quarter-deck of the vessel of state which it inculcates, by means chiefly of an appeal to experience, that they have every right to expect. It aims far less at the creation than at the communication of ideas (already well aired in the world) through the personal influence of the Oxford coach - Oxford's prime product of the last century, who at the expense of much private ex haustion and public indifference consecrates his best hours not to the University Press but to his particular pupils. This is the Oxford system to dispossess or disinherit which will require the most strenuous and unremitting labour on the part of the ages.
