David Chalmers on Memory - Dictionary of Arguments
I 200 Memory/Chalmers: without a causal connection we would have no memories of our experiences. But the causal theory of memory is not carved in stone. Remembered experiences: here the causal relation should lie on the psychological (cognitive) level. >Causal theory of knowledge, >Experiences. Beliefs: are there causal relations between memories of beliefs? If direct acquaintance with the experience is sufficient that belief counts as knowledge, then the later belief can count as a memory (of the experience). >Acquaintance, >Beliefs. I 201 Memory/Chalmers: a causal relation to a relevant initial psychological state is sufficient to qualify beliefs as memories. >Causality._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
