Sociology of memory, Maurice Halbwachs, Philosophy of Mind, ExternalismAbstract
The article reconstructs the main contributions of Maurice Halbwachs as an externalist approach to memory. It also explores its interpretative aspects derived from his conceptual inaccuracies. In parallel, the article reconstitutes the main ideas and aspects that evolved from the 'extended mind hypothesis” – a contemporary externalist approach of Philosophy of Mind. These two reconstructions put externalist explanations about memory in dialogue, recognizing their similarities
and potential mutual contributions. By doing so, we demonstrate how the externalist approaches to mind were concerned with many aspects already placed in Halbwachs’ work – what justifies the revival of his texts as a source for new developments in Philosophy of Mind. Finally, we comment on empirical issues and missing questions (such as the "meaning”) in Halbwachs’ work and the mind’s externalist approaches.
