Realism and memory [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
[first paragraph] MEMORY is commonly held along with hallucinations and imagination to be one of the chief difficulties in the way of complete realism. I wish to maintain the precise opposite of that contention, that the fact of memory provides us with the strongest evidence in support of a realist theory of knowledge. My method has been, first to state and defend what I take to be the fundamental principles of realism, second to apply these principles to the perception of objects, and third to consider memory as a special type of such perception. I have assumed a fundamental similarity between the acts of percep- tion and imagination, memory and expectation.
