This book investigates central issues in the philosophy of
memory. Does remembering require a causal process connecting the
past representation to its subsequent recall and, if so, what is
the nature of the causal process? Of what kind are the primary
intentional objects of memory states? How do we know that our
memory experiences portray things the way they happened in the
past? Given that our memory is not only a passive device for
reproducing thoughts but also an active device for processing
stored thoughts, when are thoughts sufficiently similar to be
memory-related?
The Metaphysics of Memory defends a version of the causal theory
of memory, argues for direct realism about memory, proposes an
externalist response to skepticism about memory knowledge, and
develops a contextualist account of the factivity constraint on
memory.
