The development from a positive, dualistic theory of memory and forgetting to a concept of memory that includes forgetting as a variety of remembering is traced in two thinkers. Freud's concept of repression is discussed as a complex negation of both remembering and forgetting, and the development of this construct is shown in his letters to Wilhelm Fliess. A close reading of Augustine of Hippo's Confessions shows a similar concept of a special sort of forgetting, in which what is forgotten is remembered nonetheless. Finally, the limits of the comparison are discussed, and a reading of Freud's "Negation" reveals ways in which the unconscious is fundamentally unlike Augustine's interiority.
两位思想家追溯了从积极的、二元对立的记忆与遗忘理论到将遗忘视为记忆的一种形式的记忆概念的发展过程。弗洛伊德的压抑概念被视为对记忆与遗忘的复杂否定，其这一理论结构的发展在他写给威廉·弗利斯的信件中得以展现。仔细研读希波的奥古斯丁的《忏悔录》会发现一种类似的特殊遗忘概念，即被遗忘的内容仍会被记住。最后，讨论了这种比较的局限性，对弗洛伊德《否定》一文的解读揭示了无意识与奥古斯丁的内在性根本不同的方面。
