Précis of Memory: A Philosophical Study (Philosophical Studies 153, 2011) (original) (raw)

This study explores the intricate relationship between memory and personal identity, arguing that the connection between memories and the rememberer is contingent rather than logical. It challenges the notion that remembering equates to knowledge, asserting that memories can exist without justification or belief. The paper ultimately presents a nuanced view of memorial authenticity, positing that memories may differ in content yet still retain relevance through an entailment relation, suggesting a dynamic understanding of how we process and recall memories.
