Professor Malcolm's definition of 'factual memory'. Saunders, J. T. Theoria, 31:282–288, 1965. abstract bibtex [first paragraph] In his paper, “A Definition of Factual Memory”,‘ Professor Norman Malcolm defines factual memory as follows: “A person, B, remembers that p if and only if B knows that p because he knew that p” (223). I wish here (I) to argue that Malcolm is wrong to require present knowledge, and to offer a comment upon his previous-knowledge re- quirement, and (11) to discuss the significance of the “because” in his definition.
