Hume's account of memory [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
This essay divides into three main sections. The first section isolates three puzzles in Hume's account of memory. The second section argues that while Hume's difficulties are exacerbated on the assumption that Hume held the causal thesis, they are reduced on the hypothesis that Hume did not fully appreciate the analytic connection between memory and causation. Finally, the third section looks at how the reading of Hume's account of memory offered in the first two sections fits into the larger context of Hume's work by considering the roles Hume assigns the memory in his famous account of personal identity.
