Abstract:

The fire of memory goes out in the stove of philosophy.Methodologically,philosophy still takes reflection and description that Bergson and Husserl used more than 100 years ago as its method,whereas the new methods in the disciplines of history,psychology and neuroscience have achieved plenty of academic achievements.In terms of theory,in these fields new concepts such as social memory,collective memory,historical memory and cross-cultural memory emerge continuously,whereas in philosophy no effective ideas have been put forward except memory types.In terms of practice,practical activities of memory such as various commemorative activities,memory material exploration and memory experiments have been carried out at multiple levels in those fields,whereas in philosophy no similar activities have been carried out.Such a situation is due to the internal factors of philosophy:the strong tradition of seeking knowledge and truth makes it ignore the issue of memory.To re-ignite the fire of memory in philosophy,we should return to the phenomena of memory themselves,exploring the constitution of memory experience and constructing the philosophical starting point of memory research.

Key words: memory, experience, philosophical perspective
