Memories and Personality (Identity)
March 21, 2011 to March 22, 2011
Memory and the concept of personality: What guarantees that I am myself? Is the past "me" the same as the present "me"? What about the future me? Philosophers have discussed the sameness of a personality by looking at the continuity of memory and consciousness.
In this lecture, I would like to discuss how the relationship between the concept of personality and memory should be understood now, by introducing philosophers' insights and the present situation of researches into psychological disorders, dementia, and the mechanisms of memory etc.
