Book Review: This is Water: The Ethics of Memory

  • Jeffrey H. Barker

Abstract

This review of Avishai Margalit's The Ethics of Memory (Harvard University Press, 2004. New York) explores the ethical significance of memory and forgetting, with special reference to the potential value or even obligation to serve as the agent of historical memory for those who suffered and perished in the Holocaust. His subtle, nuanced, and elegant arguments are formed in a synthesis of traditional, British analytic philosophy and a profound sensitivity to the complexities of history and memory.
