To remember To forget, To forget To create.
Reflections around the ethics, the education and the memory

 

By González Navy
Number 53

About many occasions one thinks about xanax prescription ethics like in xanax prescription philosophical reflection around buy xanax without prescription in usa rights and the duties of the people, and this reflection focuses in debates to him on the occurred thing. Nevertheless, I xanax prescription that the reflection on the occurred thing is only buy xanax without prescription in usa first passage in the way of the total vocation of the ethics, that is its glance towards the future. In order to support my exhibition I will retake the suggestive proposals of the French thinker Paul Ricoeur. Hermeneuta that centered its philosophy in three scopes related to the memory: history, Literature and the klonopin vs xanax Related but also different to each other, in them Ricoeur found the entrance to the preoccupation that was occupying the count of its life like philosopher: the preoccupation by the ethics. In this route, surpassing the prescriptitas and normative conceptions of the ethics, propose one more a more constructive conception in the following definition:

The ethics is the yearning to live well with klonopin vs xanax by the other in right institutions.

The yearning buy xanax without prescription in usa live well on Ricoeur invites to buy xanax without prescription in usa invention of the own life. The seen xanax prescription as conduct code forgets the buy xanax without prescription in usa of the constitutional freedom of the human being. For Ricoeur, the ethics must be oriented primarily towards the future, towards the decision making in freedom of each concrete individual xanax prescription is creating its own life. In this perspective, when memory my life buy xanax without prescription in usa communicate and it to another one buy xanax without prescription in usa narrate, it. I contemplate and I value my life when doing the story of her and to find a sense thread sufficiently autosatisfactorio, then I say that I lived well. I include/understand that is to say, it and I take control of the narration like of me life. Finally, when I carry out the count of my memory, buy xanax without prescription in usa I do that is to say, who I have been, who I am being, that is to say, I produce my narrative identity. xanax prescription the memory is the sediment than we have been, than we buy xanax without prescription in usa but also than we will be.

We can speak of three dimensions of buy xanax without prescription buy xanax without prescription in usa usa memory: the memory of the history that forges cultural identities and institutions; the memory of the Literature that allows us to recreate the past historical like lived present, but also provides to us with imagination to buy xanax without prescription in usa to us towards the future; and finally, the memory of the narrative identity that gives the possibility us of adapting us of we ourself when doing the narration of our life that is an buy xanax without prescription in usa text whose main personage (I) to pains is being constructed to itself by means of his actions and recognizing his identity through seizing of himself in the speech of his narrative identity.

Before initiating the route buy xanax without prescription in usa goes buy xanax without prescription in usa the historical memory, happening through the literary memory until the memory of the narrative identity, buy xanax without prescription in usa is necessary buy xanax without prescription in usa retake another idea buy xanax without prescription in usa suggests Ricoeur to us around the car knowledge and that it shapes in his Hermenéutica. Ricoeur says: due to the series of mechanisms that subconscious and consciously are put in movement when buy xanax without prescription in usa spoke or we thought on we ourself, it seems that we cannot only accede to the car knowledge of direct way but by the long way of the interpretation. For this reason, for conocerte - Ricoeur- says buy xanax without prescription in usa do not watch towards within klonopin vs xanax as Sócrates proposed, watches towards outside, towards the products that you have created, in them unconsciously you buy xanax without prescription in usa more of you than what you create to know consciously. In order to explain this it uses the figure of a light like knowledge instrument. If we directed the light of the light towards us to try to see us, this one is so shining that it blinds to buy xanax without prescription in usa In order to manage to know us it is necessary to project it towards outside, towards the objects that we have produced and that are to ours around. When seeing them we can appreciate what we have projected of we ourself in them and that projection, to know us. But what objects we have created: among others we have created scientific buy xanax without prescription in usa texts, historical texts, artistic texts and among them, literary texts, et cetera. We can say that the texts work like mirrors, like entering a house of mirrors and power simultaneously to see the projection that is believed in the mirror and which we are not, but at the same time and through her, we can interpret something of which without the mirror we would not see but that only we see of indirect way.

From this theoretical frame we klonopin vs xanax our memories, not without first to notice klonopin vs xanax the reflection on the diverse memories is buy xanax without prescription in usa coarse and complex and that it will only score some suggestive edges here:

The memory of history
The historical texts are objects that we have created and that not only speak of our past acts but of how we thought and we conceived ourselves xanax prescription a certain time in we have produced which them; xanax prescription to forget, following metaphor of mirrors, that also speaks of xanax prescription at the moment at we read which them buy xanax without prescription in usa when we read, also we read ourselves. Therefore, they speak of our car perception and our possibility of car of constructing to us. In this dimension we found the memory necessary it takes that us to his registry in historical texts. The relevance of the historical text is that it articulates in the scope of the social thing and is the foundation of our institutions, for that reason the necessity of the memory and the historical memory.

Although it is certain that we klonopin vs xanax have to distinguish between levels of historical speech and to speak on the one hand of a divulging speech whose objective is the construction of national identities and in that is demonstrated plus an political-ideological substrate; and on the other hand of the speech of the professional of the history that would try a greater objectivity in the klonopin vs xanax nevertheless, both levels cannot be subtracted of a political intentionality that trastoca its senses.

Nevertheless and to extend this influence of the political intentionality, we remember that the speech of historical texts is he himself also an historical product that projects what we have been more buy xanax without prescription in usa pretends and wanted. In this sense we will be able to say that the buy xanax without prescription in usa to make narration historical has privileged a conception of the causal and progressive temporality that opaque another type of temporalities or forms to articulate also inherent speeches to the human condition which we must rescue. Understood the temporality like the subjective perception of the time and therefore of the memory.

In order xanax prescription xanax prescription other forms of temporality we would have klonopin vs xanax undertake the long way of the interpretation for the knowledge of we ourself, whom Ricoeur proposes, not the short way of the direct knowledge than we have been. That is to say, we must recognize the klonopin vs xanax and necessity to teach history but not to conform to teaching the content to us of this buy xanax without prescription in usa but doing and to teach to make historiography, klonopin vs xanax is to say, must exercise the ability to klonopin vs xanax the forms in which we make narration historical, because if the historical speech is the foundation of buy xanax without prescription in usa national identity, on the form in as buy xanax without prescription in usa articulates this one will depend the construction that is been satisfied of this identity: a vinculativa, shared in common construction or xanax prescription excluding, maniquea construction to only name some forms of the speech.

The xanax prescription of Literature
On the other hand the buy xanax without prescription in usa text gives klonopin vs xanax type us different from registry of the memory: it allows us to vivenciar the past historical as present lived in concrete it, that is to say, like personage actante on klonopin vs xanax The reader who enters itself to a novel has the possibility of duplicating his existence, no longer is the boring and tired clerk of the buy xanax without prescription in usa routine, by means of the reading is Moctezuma in Tenochtitlan, Maximiliano in Querétaro, Lopez Opening in the Gulf, only of putting some examples national.

But the narrative text is not only one history, is also the form to narrate that history, of such luck that we have diverse forms to narrate a same fact and klonopin vs xanax to interpret it and to live it. klonopin vs xanax that reason perhaps most important it is than text provides the narrative us with the ability of the imagination to think other perspective or forms to be in the world different from ours, also allow us to formulate you move projected conceptions towards the future. In the literary text memory and imaginación= megre past and future.

We retake the proposal of Ricoeur: in order to know xanax prescription same we do not watch towards inside, we watch towards outside, the products that we have created, in them unconsciously we projected more of us than what we create to know consciously or we dare to believe. Literature, as human xanax prescription speaks to us than we are, but we do not have to go us xanax prescription the short way but by the one of the hermenéutica klonopin vs xanax of the symbols and the form to articulate those symbols.

Sometimes it is said that the literary buy xanax without prescription in usa is a fiction text, klonopin vs xanax is not true and until it is even labeled klonopin vs xanax him as evasive. Opinion that we can still listen to between the students of the philosophy and social sciences. It is certain that to Literature diverse functions have been adjudged to him, such as its evasive or also cathartic function, nevertheless, we will emphasize its playful function here and the validity and wealth of buy xanax without prescription in usa one. Literature is a game and a toy and along with other similar mechanisms obtains several effects that allow the reader abrir themselves towards the future, towards the imagination necessary to construct the own identity. buy xanax without prescription in usa game and the toy - Literature owns fundamental functions in the socialization of the people: Game 1) is a model of representation of the buy xanax without prescription in usa and therefore of nondistant understanding to the models that offer the philosophy, sociology and psychology to us. As we already mentioned the literary text is not only the anecdote that this one sometimes relates but - and klonopin vs xanax the form in that it is related. To know and to handle diverse models of understanding of the world allow to a major and more total relation buy xanax without prescription in usa with the same. 2) The game and the toy demand the assumption of certain sometimes simultaneous hierarchic rolls what it anticipates of empathy and recognition to us of the place of every one. 3) The game and the toy require turns, all the players cannot drive at the same time. These two functions allow us to even recognize the necessity of the other for the own buy xanax without prescription in usa that is to say there is no game without the other, nor without the recognition and respect of his turn. 4) The game or the toy klonopin vs xanax us to klonopin vs xanax other that we are not, by hours to be king, subject, banker, tourist, industrialist, thief, and an endless ones of personages more. To lardo of all these functions, through playing the game we learn to participate in the buy xanax without prescription in usa of the social thing. Literature as game and toy no longer are something other people's to the world, to the public life, praxis but means of knowledge and interaction with her. And finally klonopin vs xanax the game and the toy retake the experience klonopin vs xanax but projected towards the present game. The game always gambles in the present, we can remember history but the play occurs in the present and only klonopin vs xanax a new future. In the literary text the reading account with an understanding horizon but the reading only occurs in the present, projected every time to a new fan of interpretations.

Then, in the conjunction between buy xanax without prescription in usa memory and literary memory we can find the formula for the construction of that yearning to live well xanax prescription and by the other in right institutions, that are the content of the narrative identity buy xanax without prescription in usa and that it consists of remembering to forget, but forgetting to create; then nobody that is in buy xanax without prescription in usa with its condition will make reflection ethical. And nobody is in agreement, because to yearn for a better buy xanax without prescription in usa it is inherent part of the buy xanax without prescription in usa constitution.

What has been said we can yet show the possibility klonopin vs xanax reconstructing the past historical and literary, klonopin vs xanax and cathartic, to forget to him and in this way to extend to him to create buy xanax without prescription in usa better futures. But to remember to forget in any sense: to forget the klonopin vs xanax that prevent the coexistence, but also to forget the triumphs that buy xanax without prescription in usa to us in past glories.

The memory of the narrative identity
We happen now to klonopin vs xanax point of the spear that klonopin vs xanax the sense of the reconstruction of the previous memories: the memory of the narrative identity. After all, the aim of the education is to cause the way buy xanax without prescription in usa that educating constructs its own identity.

The proposal of xanax prescription of Ricoeur has a triple joint: identity like identical to itself (what it remains of me klonopin vs xanax xanax prescription time), identity like similar to itself (what one modifies of me in klonopin vs xanax time) and identity as a result of the confrontation of himself with the other. In this triple joint the identity occurs like something in constant construction, in movement. Also, as it were mentioned, to seize of the identity of one it xanax prescription to have the possibility of making the klonopin vs xanax of the own life in relations klonopin vs xanax through a sense thread. But in this case the narrative identity difference of the narration of the literary xanax prescription because a literary text, a novel for example, already presents/displays a given world, finished, closed in a certain sense although is updated by the reader. However the narration of our identity while we are alive is an open text whose main personage to pains is being constructed to itself through his actions and being clear in its identity through seizing of himself in the speech that does of its life. There is a dynamism that does not exist in the literary text. And here I return to connect with the constructive proposal of Ricoeur exceeds what is the ethics: The yearning to live well with and by the other in right institutions.

The noun yearning does not talk about in buy xanax without prescription in usa opinion on the dice but to the hope reason why not yet it is constructed. Hope of a way of life in which I am main personage, but in whom it stops to reach the valuation to live well, I require of the participation of other secondary personages, through them and buy xanax without prescription in usa them it will be worth the pain to live in right societies, that is to say, the social constructions of which to me the historical memory provides and that I can refundar thanks to the use of the imagination del that has qualified me Literature. But in addition, thanks to the vanguardistas forms of Literature I can realize of which there is no a single way to narrate my life and that even along with the buy xanax without prescription in usa in as am I it acting and narrating are other parallel narrations with also parallel personages, who were opponent adjuvant secondary perhaps personages either in me novel but for which I I am adjuvant or opponent personage of their own novel.

Finally buy xanax without prescription in usa is necessary to clarify xanax prescription Ricoeur makes use klonopin vs xanax a basal concept of right institutions. It understands by institutions all the relations that we have created, instituted and agreed between the individuals to xanax prescription in coexistence and that without buy xanax without prescription in usa decided fulfillment, would be impossible the human coexistence. Indeed in it is its justice, in being fulfilled since it has been agreed to. We speak for example of the institution of the xanax prescription like agreed relation in which the words tie to us to each other and have a referring one or been suitable sense. To use with justice, that is to say, as the language were agreed to is to live under the shelter of its reason of being, because otherwise would be impossible the coexistence and the klonopin vs xanax life. And thus we could speak of the economic, educative, political institutions, etc.

To conceive the identity as buy xanax without prescription in usa it allows me to make me position of her, to recognize to me, to accept to me, to mold to me and in this way to recognize the other in its mismidad and the paper who exerts like adjuvant of my own yearning living well thanks to him, with him, and by him in a relational world of right institutions in xanax prescription it has fitted for it. And thus, to remember to forget, to forget to create.
