| summary | Psychological research has revealed that episodic memories are constructive in nature. My talk explores how episodic memories, despite being constructive, can provide justification for beliefs about the past. It might seem that foundationalism and reliabilism are in a position to deal with memory beliefs with newly generated contents. In my talk, I first reject these theories in light of the empirical findings. I argue that foundationalism is problematic by comparing certain kinds of memory construction to cognitive penetration to perception. I explain how different versions of reliabilism all face a skeptical challenge. Instead, I propose an alternative, two-factor theory to account for the justificatory power of episodic memories. |
