A Banach algebra A is weakly amenable provided that every bounded derivation from A to its dual A is inner. In H1], the rst-named author, building on earlier work of J. W. Bunce and W. L. Paschke BP], proved that every C-algebra is weakly amenable. We give a simpliied and uniied proof of this theorem. B. E. Johnson has proved that every bounded Jordan derivation from a C-algebra A to any Banach...
