Graduate Research Colloquium Tony Bezsylko (University of California, Berkeley) Morrissey’s Lament |
Do we know that we dream by remembering our dreams? It seems that we do. Daniel Dennett, however, argues that we do not. I show that the only way to resist Dennet’s argument and save our ordinary thought that we know by memory that we dream is by adopting a view of memory which traces back to Bertrand Russell’s 1912 position and which I call the retained acquaintance view.
