Reconstructing memories, deconstructing the self. Chadha, M. Mind & Language. doi abstract bibtex The paper evaluates a well-known argument for a self from episodic memories—that remembering that I did something or thought something involves experiencing the identity of my present self with the past doer or thinker. Shaun Nichols argues that although it phenome- nologically appears to be the case that we are identical with the past self, no metaphysical conclusion can be drawn from the phenomenology. I draw on literature from contemporary psychology and Buddhist resources to arrive at a more radical conclusion: that there is no phe- nomenological sense of identity with a past self; the sense of self in episodic memory depends on narrative construc- tion of the self.
