PACHECO ACOSTA, Héctor Luis. KANT ON EMPIRICAL AND TRANSCENDENTAL FUNCTIONS OF MEMORY. Eidos [online]. 2020, n.32, pp.103-134. Epub 01-Ago-2020. ISSN 1692-8857. https://doi.org/10.14482/eidos.32.193.
This paper analyses the features of Kant’s view of memory, which Kant himself described explicitly in his lectures on anthropology and implicitly in the A edition of the Critique of Pure Reason. I shall offer a review of literature on Kant’s view of memory up to this day. I suggest that memory is a cognitive faculty that has the power to store and reproduce representations. Kant distinguishes among three different kinds of memorization which are relevant for human cognition. I offer reasons to hold that imagination and memory must be differentiated by their functioning, although the first one grounds the second one. Finally, I hold that certain functions of memory need to be presupposed at a transcendental level, in which memory would play a fundamental function with regard to the possibility of experience.
