Externalism and Memory. Tye, M. & Heal, J. Aristotelian Society Supplementary Volume, 72:77–109, 1998.
abstract   bibtex   
Externalism about thought contents has received enormous attention in the philosophical literature over the past fifteen years or so, and it is now the established view. There has been very little discussion, however, of whether memory contents are themselves susceptible to an externalist treatment. In this paper, I argue that anyone who is sympathetic to Twin Earth thought experiments for externalism with respect to certain thoughts should endorse externalism with respect to certain memories.
