G. Evans on Memory - Dictionary of Arguments
Frank I 535 Memory/Evans: memory does not provide knowledge. (Ryle dito) - But memory shows other aspects of the "I". >Knowledge, >Aspects. Frank I 544 Quasi-memory/q-memory/Shoemaker: "Quasi-memory": "q-memory" - For example, if there are such false memories, then it makes sense to say "Someone stood before a burning tree, but was that I? " - EvansVs: even if this is possible, it does not follow that the normal judgments must be based on an identification. - It is not about decomposition: "someone stood .. I was the one". I 550 Q-memory: is in fact, from someone else. I 551 A) A subject q remembers an event whose witness it was not. B) Subsequently, the subject q remembers the fact of being a witness - appear/appearance/Evans: it is still correct to say that an apparant memory to have done something, is necessarily an apparent memory that one has done it oneself - (+) purely verbal move: does not show that it is possible for the subject to appear as if there was a tree, without it seeming to it as if there was the tree where it is. I 552 One must state a certain knowledge about the mental states of a subject, e.g. from five minutes ago - this kind of memory is neither a matter of the permanence of an opinion nor a shadow. - The original ability belongs to the equipment of every intelligent creature. I 547 Memory/Evans: e.g. brain transplantation, after which the subject asserts: "Something was F" - This is no judgment, no knowledge, but a mere presumption.
