ZARAUZA, Begoña Rúa. The banality of dying. An approach to the politics of historical memory from the perspective of Paul Ricœur and Hannah Arendt. Franciscanum [online]. 2022, vol.64, n.177, pp.2-2.  Epub 06-Oct-2022. ISSN 0120-1468.  https://doi.org/10.21500/01201468.5199.

The question that is posed is the relationship that may exist between the crisis of legitimation in contemporary societies, after the decline of the great theoretical and metaphysical systems pre-Enlightenment, and the current proliferation of the politics of historical memory. Relying on the contemporary authors Paul Ricœur and Hannah Arendt, this work underlies the idea that these policies try to correct the lack of legitimation and, perhaps, of hope. Finally, it is worth asking if the political bodies are outlining the true supreme good which is none other than life.

Palabras clave : Collective memory; death; politics; Paul Ricœur; Hannah Arendt.
