Hans-Georg Gadamer on Memory - Dictionary of Arguments

I 21
Memory/remembering/forgetting/Gadamer: One does not correctly grasp (...) the nature of memory (...) if one sees in it nothing but a general disposition or ability. Retaining
and forgetting and remembering belong to the historical constitution of man and are themselves a part of his history and education. He who exercises his memory as a mere skill - and all the technique of memory is such an exercise - does not yet have it as that, which is his own. The memory must be formed. For remembering is not memory at all and for everything. One has a memory for some things, but not for others, and one wants to keep something in one's memory as one bans others from it.
>Capability, >Education, cf. >Second Nature, >Perception,
>World/Thinking.
Forgetting: To the relationship of keeping and remembering belongs in a long not enough considered way forgetting, which is not only a failure and a lack, but, as especially F. Nietzsche emphasized, is a life condition of the spirit(1).
>Spirit/Nietzsche.
Only through forgetting
the spirit is given the possibility of total renewal, the ability to see everything with fresh eyes, so that the old familiar merges with the new to form a multi-layered unity. To remember is ambiguous. It contains as memory (mnemé) the relationship to memory (anamnesis).
