Avishai Margalit on Memory - Dictionary of Arguments

Morozov I 280
Memory/Delete/Data/Forgetting/Margalite/Morozov: Avishai Margalit makes a distinction between forgiveness as an extinction, which he calls "blotting out" and forgiveness as an uncovering, which he calls "crossing out".(1)
Morozov: i. e. making invisible or preserving an original inscription.
For Margalit, preserving while crossing out is morally preferable.(2)
Morozov: while technology helps us quickly and easily with extinguishing, it is not so easy to use it for forgiveness.
cf. >Abolition.
