The surge of philosophical interest in episodic memory has brought
to light a number of controversial questions about this form of
memory that have only recently begun to be addressed in detail.
This book organises discussion around six such questions, offering
two new chapters per question, from experts in the field. The
questions are: I. What is the relationship between memory and
imagination? II. Do memory traces have content? III. What is the
nature of mnemonic confabulation? IV. What is the function of
episodic memory? V. Do non-human animals have episodic memory? VI.
Does episodic memory give us knowledge of the past? The book
constitutes a valuable resource for researchers, teachers, and
students alike. For researchers, it provides an up-to-date
discussion of some of the main theories, arguments, and problems in
the area. For teachers, the book can supply the readings for an
entire course, or particular sections can provide the readings for
specific units within a broader philosophy of memory course. For
students, the book offers accessible discussions of some of the
most recent topics in the philosophy of memory, which, when taken
together, serve as a well-rounded introduction to the area.
