Study notes for memory and personhood by martin copenhaver

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.Д«odily sensations, such as pain, hunger, itches, or sexual feelings, are commonly characterized in terms of their phenomenal character. 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.

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 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. 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.

Yet the philosophy of memory has only recently emerged as an area of study and research in its own right. 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.
