I am currently writing on memory as part of a more substantial piece of work on personal identity, if I remember rightly!
I ask the following question: does autobiographical memory - memories that can be stated using the words, "I remember that I ... " - presuppose or entail any perspective from which that memory is viewed? For instance, when I remember episodes from my childhood do I remember it as a child, with a child's perspective and attitudes, as I was when I first remembered it, or as an adult with an adult's perspective and attitudes now recalling, now interpreting, that past? I examine and assess the various answers to this puzzling question.
