Abstract

The article concerns "have" and "commitment" - "Revenge" and "save", especially related to how to change how the "politics of memory." Background to the problem of suffering: as there is life on the world or the phenomena of the basic facts, it is the only universal human face of God, the face of political "land redemption" rather than "mass" in the passage of the future can , or in the "revenge" in the past will never get out. What is important here is the memory of the time structure of the form of a fundamental change. Thus, "once" is not no pressure on the vitality of the past ; not simply translate into a viable revenge will to power that is power politics ; and Revenge is out of the rescue - that out of the past - the "memory" in the "have" and "commitment." But in fact, it has the characteristics of Western culture can not be assumed independent. The paper is intended to serve an inquiry into the "politics of memory" that concerns itself with how "once-ness" - "promise" could be related to "revenge" - "salvation" and how each of the two could be transformed into the other. The question at stake is asked against the background of Suffering: As a fundamental fact in terms of existential-phenomenological life-world, suffering is not of future tense that drifts away with the subservient "mess", nor of past tense as locked up in the "revenge"; rather, suffering provided human beings with the only possibility of universal salvation in front of God and politics. What matters is the fundamental change that takes place in the temporal framework of form of human memory. This considered, the "once-ness" then is, as Nietzsche asserts and Benjamin clarifies, not lifeless suppression of the past, nor the vital will to power or power politics that can be represented simply as "revenge" as Nietzsche deems; rather, it shows itself as a kind of "salvation", a kind of departing from the past, a kind of "promise" once made in human memory. It is argued that western civilization might have failed this task
