Abstract

'How can we confront our own past ?, How can we cultivate the relationship to it? '―To grapple with these questions which are very important if we consider seriously the fundamental structure of human formation, Walter Benjamin gives some interesting suggestion. According to him, remembering the past doesn' t mean restoring it just as it was , but haunted by the images of the past matters which come up to consciousness unintentionally from the bottom of memory, being at a loss and then asking endlessly what they mean for the present life. In this paper I elucidate such unique understanding of recollection (Erinnerung, Eingedenken) by interpreting some of his essays (for example, "Experience and Poverty", "On Image of Proust", "On some Motifs in Baudelaire" and "On the Concept of History"). As a result of this elucidation, we become aware of the possibility of thinking out another theory of human formation which is quite different from ordinary one that attaches great importance to such moment of human formation as the reflection on one's own past matters from the higher stage of morality gained at the present.
