Memory: Philosophical issues
In Lynn Nadel (ed.), Encyclopedia of Cognitive Science. Macmillan. pp. 1109-1113 (2002)
Abstract
Memory is a set of cognitive capacities by which humans and other animals retain information and reconstruct past experiences, usually for present purposes. Philosophical investigation into memory is in part continuous with the development of cognitive scientific theories, but includes related inquiries into metaphysics and personal identity.Author's Profile
