Paul Ricoeur: Thinker of historical Testimony
Abstract
This paper proposes an ethical interpretation of Memory, History and Oblivion. Testimony of the Holocaust, as an unjustifiable event, is the historical point of departure of the ethical reflection. In these terms, Ricoeur’s position in relation to the Historikerstreit acquires a great value. Our hypotheses is that this answer is the product of a long reflection on Jean Nabert’s considerations on the relation of the factical and ethical dimensions.
