Keeping the past in mind. Casey, E. S. Review of Metaphysics, 37(1):77–95, 1983. abstract bibtex [first paragraph] Keeping the past in mind": where else is it going to be kept. We could perhaps try to keep it in the past itself; but then we'd have the past containing itself, swallowing its own tail. An event would die out the moment it was born: it would have no continuing protentional halo-fulfilled or unfulfilled-nor would it be rememberable. Yet an event shorne of all these attributes would no longer be an event at all. To keep a past event entirely past, with no possible repurcussions in the present, would be to deprive it of its very eventfulness. "Remembrance is now," say George Steiner in After Babel; but this is so only because the pas now being re-enacted, re-lived.
