Abstract

A critical study of Ian Hacking, _Rewriting the Soul_ (1995). Special attention is paid to his idea of the indeterminacy of the past; the truth-value of claims concerning alleged recovered memories; the concept of human kinds and their supposed difference from natural kinds; and Hacking’s Foucault-inspired conception of knowledge.
