This paper aims at questioning contemporary assumptions of history, memory, and truth, at the core of some political discussions going on nowadays in Brazil. This questioning is carried out through two different but converging perspectives. The first one is an etymological overview of these notions as held in Ancient Greece. This perspective is brought about as a means of creating a necessary critical distance from our present standpoint in order to make way for the introduction of the psychoanalytical conception of these notions, grounded on its epistemological breakthrough of the functioning of the psychic apparatus.
