SUMMARY:Moral Encroachment on Memory
DESCRIPTION:This paper presents and defends a moral encroachment approach t
 o memory. On this view\, moral considerations\, of justice and fairness\, 
 should influence whether recollections of the past are counted as genuine 
 memories. It will be shown that some recollections of the past pose a risk
  of substantial epistemic\, affective\, and practical harms to those whose
  behaviours are recalled\, preventing them from gaining recognition for th
 eir behaviours\, expressions of agency\, their autonomous choices\, and th
 eir individuality. Furthermore\, this risk is disproportionately faced by 
 members of marginalised groups. Treating these recollections as genuine me
 mories provides the message that they have epistemic authority\, which can
  bring further harms and wrongs. Therefore\, there is moral value to not t
 reating the recollections as genuine memories: by denying them memory stat
 us\, it is possible to reduce the harms and wrongs associated with them be
 ing treated as epistemically authoritative. If this happens\, the classifi
 cation of some recollections as not genuine memories will be driven by mor
 al considerations. Therefore\, there is a case for moral considerations to
  influence whether some recollections are counted as genuine memories.
