This is a fabulous volume. I enjoyed the chance to think about how episodic memory fits into standard phil mind (spoiler: it doesn’t), and the other chapters are are all so fun and creative. A testament tk Devin and Louise’s lovely vision of philosophy of mind today. Highly recommend!

IPM 5 is sadly over, but photos are now up online (thanks to @nazimkeven.bsky.social for taking many of these). We owe a huge thanks to @sarahrobins.bsky.social and her team for putting together an amazing conference and celebration of memory. And thanks to everyone who came! www.phomo.org/gallery

Nobody remembers telephone numbers anymore. Memory technologies increasingly free us up to use memory in other ways. Hamish Linehan and Matthew Sims are at the Palace today, asking how this changes the normative constraints on memory, for us and for other species. #philmemory

Thomas Reid offers us a view of memory as "an active, collaborative process that contributes to the production of reliably accurate beliefs." So says M Folescu, who is at The Memory Palace today discussing their book project on Reid's view of memory and faculty psychology. Enjoy! #philmemory

Does phenomenology have a role to play in investigating memory, or should philosophical inquires be focused on metaphysical and empirical features of this capacity? Sofia Pedrini (Bochum) is at the Palace today, defending the relevance and significance of memory phenomenology. #philmemory

Sarah Robins @sarahrobins.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

Many ask about the function of episodic memory. But what's the point of episodic memory? We can learn interesting things about this capacity if we ask what we do with it, rather than just why we have it in the first place. Julian Bacharach (Trinity Dublin) explores this at The Palace today.

Traumatic memories often make the past overshadow the present. How much of this influence is due to memory? Judith Carlisle (Tennessee) is at The Memory Palace today with an intriguing discussion of this question. Check it out! #philsky #philscisky

Episodic memory, as we know it now, might not have emerged at a specific point in our evolutionary history. Instead, it may have been cobbled together in a stepwise manner. Rebecca Dreier (LSE) is at The Memory Palace today exploring this possibility; take a look! #philsky #philscisky

When we see something that's moving, our memories about it end up projected forward in time: We remember it further along than it was. In a new paper in 𝘗𝘴𝘺𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘚𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦, out today and led by @dillonplunkett.bsky.social, we demonstrate that this happens even when there is 𝙣𝙤 𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙤𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧.🧵
