Despite an explosion of studies on memory in historical and
cultural studies, there is relatively little in moral philosophy on
this subject. In this book, Jeffrey Blustein provides a systematic
and philosophically rigorous account of a morality of memory.
Drawing on a broad range of philosophical and humanistic
literatures, he offers a novel examination of memory and our
relations to people and events from our past, the ways in which
memory is preserved and transmitted, and the moral responsibilities
associated with it. Blustein treats topics of responsibility for
one's own past; historical injustice and the role of memory in
doing justice to the past; the relationship of collective memory to
history and identity; collective and individual obligations to
remember those who have died, including those who are dear to us;
and the moral significance of bearing witness.
