记忆痕迹问题的哲学研究

A Philosophical Study on the Problem of Memory Traces

记忆痕迹是记忆哲学与科学的核心研究问题之一,文章从实在性、因果性、同构性三个方面对记忆痕迹概念进行细致的分析。围绕实在性,通过实在论和反实在论解释重新确立了记忆痕迹的本体论地位;围绕因果性,从因果条件和因果介质阐明了记忆痕迹概念能有效防止时间连续上的因果鸿沟;围绕同构性,表明记忆痕迹与过去事件经验内容间的结构同构,是心理与物理双重属性的性质同构,是神经载体和经验内容的定位同构。文章指出记忆痕迹的解读将引发记忆哲学研究的新变革,有助于加快构筑记忆哲学的理论基石与研究范式。

Memory trace is one of the center issues in the philosophy and scientific study of memory. The paper provides a detailed analysis of the concept of memory traces from three aspects: reality, causality and isomorphism. In the aspect of reality, this paper re-established the ontological status of memory trace through interpretation with realism and anti-realism. In the aspect of causality, it is clarified from the perspective of causal conditions and causal medium, that the concept of memory traces can effectively prevent the causal gap in the temporal continuum. In the aspect of isomorphism, it is shown that memory traces have a structural isomorphism with the contents of past events and experiences, and it is both a nature isomorphism with psychological and physical properties, and a localization isomorphism with neural carriers and experiential content. It is pointed out that the interpretation of memory traces will bring about new changes in the study of memory philosophy and trigger theoretical constructions and breakthroughs in memory philosophy, thus contributing to forming the theoretical cornerstones and research paradigms of memory philosophy in the new era.
