Reviews
I find Rolands' book to be an innovative and thoughtful analysis of memory and its relationship to self; one that I would recommend as a useful addition to a philosophical practitioner's collection. * Catherine Monnet, Journal of the APPA *
Memory and the Self is an intriguing account of forms of memory and the role they play in making us who we are. It makes a significant contribution to our understanding episodic memory, and elucidates how, over and beyond our episodic memories Rilkean memories may help hold the self together over time. * Christopher Jude McCarroll, Macquarie University, The Journal of Mind and Behavior *
Memory and the Self is a fascinating book that has all the qualities of good philosophical writing... a very pleasant book to read that truly deserves to be read, reread, and discussed by those interested in philosophy of mind and in memory. * Marina Trakas ( Academie de Caen), Phenomenological Reviews *
Rowlands' view is quite innovative and original, and he skillfully combines his views on phenomenology, literary studies, philosophy of mind, and the empirical psychology...Memory and the Self is a recommendable book, on account of Rowlands' original philosophical views, as well as his lively literary style. * Majid Davoody Beni, Metapsychology Online Reviews *
