| summary | One of the ways out of the deeply puzzling quantum entanglement phenomena (non-locality, EPR paradox, violation of Bell’s Inequalities) that has been gaining traction and sympathy recently is the introduction of retrocausality, that is, causation from current observations to past events. There are several advantages of this approach, but its implications for other domains are still being explored. In this paper I analyze its implications for the metaphysics of memory. This makes sense, as token episodes of episodic remembering are, as I will argue, analogous to observation in science. I will compare orthodox, causal theories of remembering and more recent acausal or postcausal ones, such as constructivism and direct realism, in terms of what the retrocausality based reinterpretation of entanglement will imply about their plausibility. |
