{"product_id":"ethical-dimension-of-forgetfulness-1","title":"Ethical Dimension of Forgetfulness","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book investigates the various meanings of forgetting and their ethical dimension in the Daoist classic \u003ci\u003eZhuangzi\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt responds to recent scholarship in the study of the ethics of forgetting, which has only emerged within the past two decades in the wake of the widespread memory-studies of the late 20th century. This book accomplishes two goals: First, it assimilates insights from contemporary scholarship, and specifically applies Ricoeur’s three areas of ethical examinations of forgetting, to the study of the \u003ci\u003eZhuangzi\u003c\/i\u003e. It addresses a wide range of ethical themes related to acts of forgetting, such as the meaning of well-being and healing, the issue of personal identity and relational autonomy, the norm of spontaneity, naturalness and suitability, the capacities for being empathic, altruistic and responsive to others, and the values of accommodation, receptivity and all-inclusive friendliness. Second, it places forgetfulness in the wider context of the \u003ci\u003eZhuangzi\u003c\/i\u003e’s ethical inquiry, and offers a novel understanding of this age-old notion and its exegetic tradition, bringing them into dialogue with Western philosophy and contributing to contemporary discourse on the ethics of forgetting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the first book to present a comprehensive examination on the ethical dimension and meanings of forgetting or forgetfulness in the Daoist philosophy of the \u003ci\u003eZhuangzi\u003c\/i\u003e, this monograph will be of interest to researchers in Asian philosophy, religion and culture, moral philosophy or ethics, the study of memory and forgetting, and comparative or cross-cultural philosophy and ethics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56191753257304,"sku":"9781032300740","price":56.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032300740.jpg?v=1770534017","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/ethical-dimension-of-forgetfulness-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
