The Nietzsche Podcast

CHAPTER

The Power of Forgetfulness

In this chapter, they discuss Nietzsche's perspective on forgetfulness as an active and positive faculty of repression. They explain how forgetfulness is not just a gap in memory, but a force that facilitates the digestion and processing of experiences, similar to how the stomach digests food. They explore Nietzsche's analogy of forgetfulness as a doorkeeper that preserves psychic order and etiquette, allowing for happiness, cheerfulness, hope, and pride.
