We show that for n≥2, n-weak amenability of the second dual 𝒜** of a Banach algebra 𝒜 implies that of 𝒜. We also provide a positive answer for the case n=1, which sharpens some older results. Our method of proof also provides a unified approach to give short proofs for some known results in the case where n=1.
