FILO-3601 Seminario Filosofía de la Memoria

What is memory? What is the nature of memories? What is the object of our memories? Does what we remember consist of past events, or is it about past experiences? Do we remember through the representation of past perceptions, or do we rebuild our memories by means of actual perceptual representations? What is the nature of the memories which are not perceptual? What is the function of memory? How are memory and other cognitive capacities, such as perception and imagination, related? Can animals remember? Can babies? Why do we have so many false memories? Does the fallibility of our memory constitute an obstacle towards the acquisition of knowledge about our own past? These and other questions will be discussed during this seminar.
