Philosophische Gedächtnistheorien der Aufklärung

Project manager: Dr. Frank Grunert

Project Description

Despite the intensive interdisciplinary interest in matters of memory and the culture of memory that has been prevailing for quite some time, there is currently no comprehensive study on the theory of memory in the philosophy of the early modern period and the Enlightenment.

The project seeks to remedy this by means of a monograph based on earlier individual studies. Initially, the study will focus on a conceptual/historical analysis to reconstruct the specific semantics of the term and its development in the context of metaphysics and epistemology beyond the already sufficiently acknowledged Ars memoriae.

The range of its different functionalisations within theoretical as well as practical discourses will subsequently be examined. As has already been shown, the term "memory" has been neglected by the history of philosophy, although it is actually a very central term, which plays an important role both in theoretical and in practical philosophy.
