Abstract

To analyse the formation of the memory acoording to Nietzsche’s thought requires at first, an examination on the relation between the promise and the forgetness. Consequenthy, it shows the conflict in the relation of both, memory and conscience and how the moral of resentment appears and fundaments itself. Second, the relation between the promise and the responsibility is discussed along with its implication acoording to Nietzsche’s memory conception. Finally, the contributions made by Nietzsche for the study of the memory formation are highlighted.
