Programme released for “Memory and Consciousness: Philosophical and Phenomenological Perspectives” at Jean Nicod Institute (Paris, France) on 15 May 2023.
The organisers are pleased to announce the programme of the workshop “Memory and Consciousness: Philosophical and Phenomenological Perspectives” at the Jean Nicod Institute (Paris, France) on the 15th of May, 2023.
Analysis of the phenomenological qualities of memory has been part of the philosophical debate since Tulving (1985) described memory in terms of different forms of consciousness in a phenomenological taxonomy. However, philosophers of memory have paid little attention to phenomenological studies on consciousness, which historically have investigated the essential structures of experience. On the other hand, in the last few decades, the philosophy of memory has exponentially progressed in analyzing the cognitive mechanisms involved in memory. This workshop aims to shed light on memory experience by bringing phenomenologists and philosophers of memory together in dialogue for mutual benefit.
