Memory, Consciousness, and Temporality presents the argument that
current memory theories are undermined by two false assumptions: the
`memory trace paradox' and `the fallacy of the homunculus'. In these
pages Gianfranco Dalla Barba introduces a hypothesis - the Memory,
Consciousness, and Temporality (MCT) hypothesis - on the relationship
between memory and consciousness that is not undermined by these
assumptions and further demonstrates how MCT can account for a variety
of memory disorders and phenomena.
With a unique approach intended to conjugate phenomenological analysis
and recent neuropsychological data, the author makes an important
contribution to our understanding of the central issues in current
cognitive science and cognitive neuroscience.
