Subject: Philosophical Studies - "Semantics and Memory" (Jrnl)


Call for Papers:
We invite submissions for a special issue of Philosophical
Studies on topics lying at the widely construed intersection of
semantics and philosophy of memory.
Description
Recent work on reference in memories from dreams, on self-referential
memory contents, and mnemic accuracy, among others, has shown the high
relevance of semantic concepts (broadly construed) to issues in
philosophy of memory. However, philosophical exploration of the topics
at the intersection of semantics and memory is still in its early
stages. The purpose of this Special Issue is to unite researchers
working on more traditional problems within the philosophy of memory,
along with theorists focusing on issues in semantics, such as
philosophers of language, linguists, etc.
Submission deadline: 15 December 2025
Confirmed invited contributors:
 - Kyle Blumberg (University of Melbourne)
 - Robert Hopkins (New York University)
 - Susanna Schellenberg (Rutgers University)
 - Jeff Speaks (University of Notre Dame)

Topics:
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
* What (kinds of entities) are the referents of a memory/what a memory
“is about”?
* What determines a memory’s reference? How is the reference relation
established?
* What kind of entity are the contents of mnemic representations? What
are their properties? (e.g. truth-evaluability, context-dependence,
indexicality, ...)
* What is the right concept of mnemic accuracy? What determines memory
accuracy?
* How (if at all) do episodic memory contents differ from the contents
of other experiential attitudes (e.g. imagining, hallucinating,
dreaming)?
* Does the current state of scientific understanding of memory have
any bearing on the traditional philosophical conception of
acquaintance?
* What are the objects of episodic remembering and other experiential
mental states?
* Can episodic(-like) remembering have generic or counterfactual
objects?
* Is episodic remembering factive?
* Does remembering entail knowing?
* Is the semantics of the verb “remember” continuous with the
semantics of other experiential attitude verbs (e.g. “imagine”,
“dream”, “hallucinate”, “see”)?
* Is semantic ascent a defensible approach to episodic remembering?
Can linguistic considerations yield insight into the nature of
remembering?
