«Sobre el olvido» is the philosophical essay by Anna Pagès, published by Herder Editorial in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
The essay addresses the experience of forgetting and its effect on generations, families and individuals. The author links forgetting with pain, suffering and loss, and describes memory as something contradictory that flees from itself. Only a boundary between before and after allows a present to be founded; beyond that, forgetting fulfils an essential function.
First edition published in 2012 in Barcelona. The essay belongs to twenty-first-century philosophy and addresses death, the meaning of life and trauma.
For readers of philosophy and essays who want to reflect on memory, mourning and the present.
