On different concepts of experiential memory [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
The topic of this paper is two concepts of experiential memory. Experiential Memory is known to play an essential role in the Lockean memory theory of personal identity. I ague that we can distinguish two different forms of English expressions for experiential memory. The traditional circularity problem is due to its formulation by appeal to one of the two forms, ‘remember V-ing.' In my view, this is a mere linguistic coincidence in English. I show that the theory cannot be formulated in the same way in Japanese because Japanese has no corresponding memory expression. Meanwhile, I argue that the theory formulated by appeal to the other form, ‘remember the feeling,' is likely to remain insufficient, if not facing another circularity charge.
