SUMMARY:I Will Survive: Ockham on Memory\, Persons\, and Afterlife | Mediev
 al Christian Philosophy Research Lecture
DESCRIPTION:"I Will Survive: Ockham on Memory\, Persons\, and Afterlife"\n\
 nGuest Speaker: Susan Brower-Toland\, St. Louis University\n\nLocation: Lo
 ry Student Center\, Room 312\n\nIn this paper\, I consider William Ockham
 ’s account of memory with a view to understanding its implications for h
 is broader account of the nature and persistence of human persons. As I’
 ll show\, Ockham holds a view according to which memory is a kind of self-
 knowledge. What is more\, I claim that this view of memory entails the exi
 stence of a single enduring self. This result is\, I claim\, significant\,
  especially when taken in conjunction with Ockham’s account of the after
 life. For\, according to Ockham\, immediately after death\, but prior to b
 odily resurrection\, the disembodied soul is capable of first-person memor
 y of its embodied experiences. This is significant since it entails that t
 he rational soul serves as the enduring locus and subject of conscious hum
 an thought and memory. Taken at face value\, however\, this entailment app
 ears to run against Ockham’s own commitment to a hylomorphic conception 
 of human beings (as essentially material or embodied). I conclude by brief
 ly exploring the prospects for reconciling this apparent tension in Ockham
 ’s account of memory on the one hand\, and the nature of human beings on
  the other.\n\nEvent contact: kenneth.shockley@colostate.edu\n\n\n\n&nbsp\
