Liberados por el perdón, pero atados por la promesa
Abstract
This work examines the relationship between forgiveness, memory and forgetfulness; it analyzes
the use and possible abuse of the two last ones and the connection that exists between promise
and forgiveness.
The thought of Paul Ricoeur and Hannah Arendt in respect to these matters contributes the
criterions used for those revision and analysis.
The exposition ends with a brief comparative study of the statements of both authors.
