Aquinas's Philosophy of Memory /John Jalsevac. - 1 electronic resource (234 pages)

Source: Dissertations Abstracts International, Volume: 85-05, Section: A.

This thesis is a comprehensive study of Thomas Aquinas's philosophy of memory. It is divided into two sections. In the first part, consisting of the first three chapters, I seek to establish what memory and related concepts such as remembering, recollection, trained memory and "intellectual memory" are for Aquinas. In the second part, I explore how Aquinas conceives of memory as being operative in the cognitive and ethical life of the agent.In the first chapter, I survey the teachings of those figures who exerted the most direct influence on Aquinas on the topic of memory. In chapter two, I give an account of each of Aquinas's other three interior senses, i.e., the common sense, imagination, and the estimative/cogitative. Given Aquinas's famous (and prima facie puzzling) definition of memory as the "storehouse of intentions" cognized by the estimative or cogitative power (ST I.78.4), I focus especially on the estimative/cogitative, arguing that this power's role in Aquinas's psychology is far more pervasive than has often been surmised.In chapter three, I construct a taxonomy of memory and memory-related concepts in Aquinas's philosophy. I argue that for Aquinas memoria is a polyvalent term, with broader and narrower meanings, referring to one or more of a number of tightly-related concepts. Uniting these three meanings, however, are three factors: the sensible phantasm, the "intention" of past time, and the "individual intention" cognized by the estimative/cogitative.In chapter four, I argue that memory plays a key (and under-appreciated) role in Aquinas's gradualist epistemology, in which the acquisition of universals is mediated by a stratified set of sense powers, in which a sensible is progressively "prepared" for abstraction. At its highest level, i.e., the conjoint operations of memory and the cogitative power, sense generates so-called "experience" (experimentum), which Aquinas conceives of as a pre-universal form of cognition that emerges from the comparison (or collatio) of multiple cogitative intentions.In chapter five, I examine Aquinas's claim that memory is an "integral part" of the virtue of prudence. As in chapter four, I argue that the notion of "experience" provides the key.
