summaryIn the last years, philosophy of memory became an established research area with established debates. Two of these debates are causalism versus simulationism and continuism versus discontinuism. These debates generated, as by-products, many conceptual and theoretical advances in the study of the metaphysics and epistemology of memory. Still, none of these debates have a clear winner. The stalemate situation in the case of both debates made some philosophers of memory wonder whether these debates were metaphilosophical. In the most promising higher-order reading of the above-mentioned debates, they are cases of conflict of integration rather than real disagreement. Concerning this proposal, I believe that theoretical integration at different levels of inquiry is a challenge, but by reading these disputes as metalinguistic negotiations, we find space for substantive disagreement between the participants of these debates.
