More Description
Although philosophers have explored memory since antiquity, recent years have seen the birth of philosophy of memory as a distinct field. This book--the first of its kind--charts emerging directions of research in the field. The book's seventeen newly commissioned chapters develop novel theories of remembering and forgetting, analyze the phenomenology and content of memory, debate issues in the ethics and epistemology of remembering, and explore the relationship between memory and affectivity. Written by leading researchers in the philosophy of memory, the chapters collectively present an exciting vision of the future of this dynamic area of research.
