The world of nostalgia. Casey, E. S. Man and World, 20(4):361–384, 1987. ![The world of nostalgia [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex [first paragraph] Nostalgia, seemingly a subject of limited philosophical interest, in fact gives rise to intriguing questions that call for philosophical scrutiny. To begin with, what are we nostalgic about - what is the proper object of nostalgia? Indeed, is there a definite object of nostalgia such as a thing or a person, or is it a question of some- thing quite indefinite such as an ambiance or an atmosphere? Then again, what is the intrinsic temporality of nostalgia? Do we get nostalgic over the past as past - that is to say, over the sheer fact that something has expired and cannot return - or do we be- come nostalgic only when a remnant of the past lingers into the present (e.g., in the guise of photographs, souvenirs, etc.). Can we even be certain that nostalgia is altogether a temporal matter: are we not nostalgic about places as well as times? Is nostalgia a func- tion of memory (as we tend to suppose) or are other basic forms of mental activity also involved?
