Memory occupies a fundamental place in philosophy, playing a
central role not only in the history of philosophy but also in
philosophy of mind, epistemology, and ethics. Yet the philosophy of
memory has only recently emerged as an area of study and research
in its own right. The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Memory is
an outstanding reference source on the key topics, problems, and
debates in this exciting area, and is the first philosophical
collection of its kind. The forty-eight chapters are written by an
international team of contributors, and divided into nine parts:
The nature of memory The metaphysics of memory Memory, mind, and
meaning Memory and the self Memory and time The social dimension of
memory The epistemology of memory Memory and morality History of
philosophy of memory. Within these sections, central topics and
problems are examined, including: truth, consciousness,
imagination, emotion, self-knowledge, narrative, personal identity,
time, collective and social memory, internalism and externalism,
and the ethics of memory. The final part examines figures in the
history of philosophy, including Aristotle, Augustine, Freud,
Bergson, Wittgenstein, and Heidegger, as well as perspectives on
memory in Indian and Chinese philosophy. Essential reading for
students and researchers in philosophy, particularly philosophy of
mind and psychology, the Handbook will also be of interest to those
in related fields, such as psychology and anthropology.
