This is a rigorous and beautifully written paper on memory that makes a particularly interesting methodological contribution. Check it out!

Our X-Phi paper is now out online in Philosophical Psychology, and it's open access! Vilius Dranseika, Kourken Michaelian, Chris McCarroll, and I show that the causal theory of memory lacks the intuitive support philosophers usually attribute to it. doi.org/10.1080/09515089.2026.2681780

Happy to share that our paper, "Causally defective remembering: a study on the folk concept of memory", co-authored with Vilius Dranseika, Kirk Michaelian, and Chris McCarroll, has been accepted for publication in Philosophical Psychology! philpapers.org/rec/LVACDR

Pleased to announce this is now forthcoming in Philosophical Studies. I first presented it in 2024, and thanks to many conversations I'm happy with how it turned out. Grateful to the guest editors and reviewers for their input too! philpapers.org/rec/OPEGRL

Latest papers: Juan F. Álvarez argues that simulationism should reject continuism in favour of discontinuism - the view that memory and imagination are fundamentally different - in this open access article doi.org/10.1080/0951... #philsky #philpsy

Think back on a time when you fantasized about a crush. Such idealization, and the later realization (and disappointment), illustrates the importance of phenomenology for investigating memory. Sofia Pedrini (Bochum) discusses such cases at the Memory Palace today - enjoy! #philmemory

First talk of our series! #philbluesky #philosophy #philosophersonbluesky

Latest papers: Rebecca Dreier argues that episodic memory could have evolved for remembering, simulating the future and communication, despite the prima facile tensions between these three functions in this open access article #philsky #philpsy doi.org/10.1080/0951...

Latest papers: Alberto Guerrero-Velázquez draws on the theoretical framework for Simulation Theory to examine the nature of additional mental tasks and their role in identity construction doi.org/10.1080/0951... #philsky #philpsy

Ed Winters interviewed me for his podcast and we spent over 1he covering sentience, why it matters for ethics, how to manage uncertainty, and what to think about the idea of sentient AI. He's good at this - I have to admit the preview image encapsulates me very well. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLPF...

The new session of the Bochum-Grenoble-Taipei Memory Colloquium starts today at 12:15 (CEST)! Francesco Fanti Rovetta (RUB) will present on "Ruminative remembering and the flexibility of scenario construction". The connection details are available here: www.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/phil-lang/Me...

I’m glad to share that this Friday I’ll be defending my dissertation at the Centre for Philosophy of Memory in lovely Grenoble. Looking forward to discussing three years of research on memory (at @ugrenoblealpes.bsky.social and @ruhr-uni-bochum.de) with such a fantastic committee!

My paper 'Memory traces and the (anti)causalist debate' has been published in Philosophical Psychology. In it, I argue that the debate between causalism and simulationism is a debate about the functional profile of the episodic memory system (1/4) doi.org/10.1080/0951...

My paper, “Remembering and relearning: against exclusionism”, has been assigned to an issue of Philosophical Studies: link.springer.com/article/10.1....

My paper 'Interpreting continuism as a mechanistic thesis' has been accepted for publication in Synthese. In it, I aim to precisify the continuist hypothesis, where memory and imagination are taken to belong to the same natural kind. + (1/5) Preprint: josecarloscamillo.weebly.com/research.html

Here's a link for the preprint: philpapers.org/rec/DIERAI-2

A new article has been published on the #PhiMiSci website: "Is De Brigard a simulationist?" by Kourken Michaelian, Juan F. Álvarez, and James Openshaw. The authors investigate whether De Brigard really defends a position that dissolves the conflict between simulationism and causalism about memory.
