Abstract

A ideia de que a memória episódica é a memória de particulares é proeminente na filosofia. A particularidade da lembrança, como vou chamá-la, foi tida como certa nas teorias mais recentes sobre o assunto. Isso ocorre porque a teoria causal clássica da memória, que tem sido extremamente influente na filosofia, fornece uma explicação direta da particularidade. Mas a teoria causal foi criticada recentemente, em particular devido à sua incapacidade de dar sentido ao caráter construtivo da lembrança. Neste artigo, argumento que as tentativas recentes de explicar o caráter construtivo da lembrança falharam em explicar sua particularidade. Isso ocorre porque elas se afastam, em sentidos importantes, da explicação da teoria causal clássica da causação mnêmica, ou então porque desistem completamente da causação mnêmica. Em seguida, procuro considerar a questão de saber se devemos voltar à teoria causal clássica da memória para dar conta da particularidade. Argumento que, apesar da ideia difundida de que a teoria causal clássica oferece uma explicação direta da particularidade, há boas razões para rejeitá-la. O resultado é que os filósofos da memória devem considerar explicações alternativas de particularidade que não giram em torno da causalidade mnemônica.
