memory, episodic memory, generativismAbstract
The present work extract an epistemological consequence of an ontological position about the memory. The ontological position is obtained on the basis of the analysis of the ordinary uses of the term memory in order to infer what should be the legitimate use, concluding, in congruence with Klein, that all memory is episodic. Given such an ontological position, a generativism epistemic position is derived, concluding that memory is a basic source of knowledge analog of the perception.
