Most neurologists have a picture of the human mind that is quasi-machine-like, especially when it comes to memory. But this model misconstrues some basic realities about human mental life. In this lecture, Professor Angela Franks will discuss the nature of human memory and narrative in dialogue with the ancient past. She offers insights from St. Augustine of Hippo and other early Christian thinkers to bear on the question of identity and the science of memory.
