HISTORY AND MEMORY

History and Memory

Collectively Remembering the Past

The concept of memory is so intriguing that we have come up with a metaphor for him than for any other psychic phenomena. Early theory predicted memory anagrams, "the literal text, written by the body to describe the experience of past years. Freud popularized the description of repressed memories, the experience of physically buried in the depths of the subconscious(Olick 2003). Contemporary descriptions dominate the analogy with computers, in which the human brain is a hard drive that stores experiences in electronic files and folders. Typical of biology, the truth is more complicated and more beautiful than any of those descriptions.

In essence, the memory changes in who we are. Our habits, our ideology, our hopes and fears, it all depends on what we remember about our past( Olick 2007). At its most basic level, we remember, because connection between neurons in our brain changes, every experience simple brain to the next experience, so that the physical things we are made of a reflection of our history, as the mountains reflect the geological epochs. Memory also changes who we are, because it is predictive of who we become. We remember things better if we were such a thing before, so that we remember from the past a lot in common with what we learn in the future.

This is not surprising that philosophers have sometimes turned their attention to efforts to study the history and nature of historical knowledge. These reflections can be grouped in a body of work called "The Philosophy of History." This work is heterogeneous, including analysis and arguments of the idealists, positivists, logicians, theologians, and others, and up and down the gap between European and Anglo-American philosophy, as well as between hermeneutics and positivism.

A handful of ontological assumptions can be offered. History is made up of human actions within the human embodiment of the institutions and structures. There is no super-human in history. There is no super-human value, or progress in history, but only a series of events and processes running on specific causal processes and individual actions ( Fenn 2006).Following Davidson (1963) and Taylor (1985), there is a mismatch between the causes and consequences, understanding and ...
