Paul Ricoeur

"memory, history, forgetfulness"

Christian Lexcellent

pp. 47-60

In his book, "Memory, History, Forgetfulness' Paul Ricoeur is one of the first philosophers who tried to position memory in relation to the neuroscience discourse. He starts from the assumption that memory claims to be faith full to the past, although it relies on affection and sensitivity. Neuroscience addressed this issue under the title of mnesic traces which should not monopolize our attention. Phenomenologically, we do not know anything about the cortical-substrate of evocation.
