A Phenomenological Study
Second Edition
Edward S. Casey
A pioneering investigation of the multiple ways of remembering and the
difference that memory makes in our daily lives.
A Choice Outstanding Academic Book
"An excellent book that provides an in-depth phenomenological and
philosophical study of memory." --Choice
". . . a stunning revelation of the pervasiveness of memory in our
lives." --Contemporary Psychology
"[Remembering] presents a study of remembering that is fondly
attentive to its rich diversity, its intricacy of structure and detail,
and its wide-ranging efficacy in our everyday, life-world experience. .
. . genuinely pioneering, it ranges far beyond what established
traditions in philosophy and psychology have generally taken the
functions and especially the limits of memory to be." --The Humanistic
Psychologist
Edward S. Casey provides a thorough description of the varieties of
human memory, including recognizing and reminding, reminiscing and
commemorating, body memory and place memory. The preface to the new
edition extends the scope of the original text to include issues of
collective memory, forgetting, and traumatic memory, and aligns this
book with Casey's newest work on place and space. This ambitious study
demonstrates that nothing in our lives is unaffected by remembering.
