Aranyosi, Istvan2021-03-102021-03-1020200039-7857http://hdl.handle.net/11693/75910The paper explicates and defends a direct realist view of episodic memory as pastperception, on the model of the more prominent direct realism about perception. First, a number of extant allegedly direct realist accounts are critically assessed, then the slogan that memory is past-perception is explained, defended against objections, and compared to extant rival views. Consequently, it is argued that direct realism about memory is a coherent and defensible view, and an attractive alternative to both the mainstream causal theories and the post-causal and constructivist views.EnglishMemoryEpisodic memoryDirect realismPerceptionConstructivismArticle10.1007/s11229-020-02751-81573-0964
