Background & Aim 

The relationship between memory and imagination has intrigued philosophers for centuries. While some cases of “unsuccessful” remembering may be categorized as mere imagining, philosophers continue to debate the markers that distinguish memory from imagination. One exciting new way to approach the issue is to consider the potential differences in terms of constraints. The aim of this workshop is to explore memory, imagination, and the relation between them from a broadly normative perspective.

There has been a great deal of interesting work carried out in the philosophies of memory and imagination, and it is important to bring together scholars working on these topics, in the hope that the combined insights might be greater than the sum of their parts.

The workshop is organised in conjunction with a special issue of Philosophy and the Mind Sciences. Please see the call for papers and consider submitting your work:
