Memory of Understanding

What do we actually remember—and what remembers for us? "Memory of Understanding" is a philosophical conversation between Patrick M. Ohana and G, an AI, exploring memory, consciousness, the unconscious, time, and remembrance. Beginning with a forgotten idea, their dialogue moves through childhood memories, personal and collective remembrance, Judaism, the impossibility of remembering tomorrow, and the curious distinction between a memory changing and our access to it changing. Interspersed with poetry and the usual disagreements between P and G, the book offers no definitive theory of memory and promises no capital-T Truth. Perhaps memory (M) knows. It isn’t telling. : )
