Resumo: | This paper is an introduction on the Causal Theory of Memory, one of the most discussed theories in philosophy of memory in the present days. We begin with Martin & Deutscher’s formulation of the theory, in which the authors present three criteria in order for a given mental state to be considered an instance of memory, amongst them, the famous causal criterion, which stipulates that a memory must be causally connected to the past experience. Subsequently, we discuss if these criteria are necessary and sufficient for memory and we present two theories that complement these criteria with an epistemic and a phenomenological criterion, i.e., the Causal Epistemic Theory and the Causal Autonoetic Theory. We then introduce the concept of memory traces, which are, according to Martin & Deutscher, the causal link between the memory and the past experience which created this memory; we present the model of traces as structural analogues and the model of distributed traces and discuss the problems which arise for each of these models of traces. Afterwards we focus on the concept of causality and present the Causal Procedural Theory, which offers a different conception of causality that does not focus on the memory traces, but on causal process itself. Lastly, we present the theory called Discontinuism, a theory about the relation between memory and imagination, which follows directly from the Causal Theory of Memory. |

O texto é iniciado com a formulação da teoria causal proposta por Martin e Deutscher, onde são apresentados os critérios propostos pelos autores para que um estado mental conte como um caso de memória, dentre eles, o famoso critério causal, que estabelece que a memória deve estar causalmente conectada com a experiência passada que a deu origem. Posteriormente é discutido se tais critérios são necessários e suficientes para a memória e são apresentadas duas teorias que adicionam outros critérios para que um estado de mental possa contar como um caso de memória, a saber, a Teoria Causal Epistêmica e a Teoria Causal Autonoética. Em seguida é introduzido o conceito de traços de memória, os quais são, segundo Martin e Deutscher, aquilo que garante a conexão causal entre a memória e a experiência passada; são apresentados o modelo de traços enquanto análogos estruturais e o modelo de traços distribuídos, bem como os problemas que advém dessas concepções de traços. Posteriormente o conceito de causalidade é discutido com mais profundidade e é apresentada a Teoria Causal Procedural, que visa escapar dos problemas acarretados pelas concepções anteriormente citadas de causalidade através de traços. Por fim, apresenta-se o Descontinuísmo, uma teoria acerca da relação entre a memória e a imaginação, a qual é uma implicação direta da adoção da Teoria Causal da Memória.Universidade Federal do Recôncavo da Bahia2021-10-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-ReviewedEvaluados por los paresAvaliados pelos paresapplication/pdfhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/article/view/245610.31977/grirfi.v21i3.2456Griot : Revista de Filosofia; v. 21 n. 3 (2021); 148-1632178-1036reponame:Griot : Revista de Filosofiainstname:Universidade Federal do Recôncavo na Bahia (UFRB)instacron:UFRBporhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/article/view/2456/1478Copyright (c) 2021 Glaupy Fontana Ribashttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFontana Ribas, Glaupy2021-10-28T13:44:43Zoai:seer.www.ufrb.edu.br:article/2456Revistahttp://www.ufrb.edu.br/griot/PUBhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/oai||griotrevista@gmail.com2178-10362178-1036opendoar:2021-10-28T13:44:43Griot : Revista de Filosofia - Universidade Federal do Recôncavo na Bahia (UFRB)false |
