Review
'… Sutton takes a wide view of his subject, stressing the effect, through several centuries, of history, society and culture on the theories of memory that he treats.' The Australian Higher Education Supplement
'… provide a fascinating insight into early modern theories of mental and neural activity, and anyone interested in contemporary thinking about mind and memory, or in the history of psychology and philosophy, will find a great deal of value in this engaging and stimulating book.' The Times Literary Supplement
'Philosophy and Memory Traces successfully combines lucidity with elegance of style, historical context with critical assessment. It takes the reader on a guided tour through a sometimes misunderstood segment of the history of memory scholarship, and should benefit researchers from a wide range of areas - early modern philosophy of mind, morality and ethics, psychology, cognitive science, sociology, medical history and anthropology - as well as anyone interested in the ancestral roots of present-day connectionism … a provocative, highly engaging book.' Philosophy in Review
'This is a remarkable book: elegantly written, impressive with regards to its scholarship and its attention to a wealth of relevant material (historical and contemporary), and exciting innovative in the ideas about memory, as the creative link between self and world.' Australian Journal of Philosophy
