In this thesis I present an in depth analysis of a mental phenomenon widely neglected in current philosophical discussions: personal memories. Personal memory is the general term I use throughout this thesis to refer in a broad sense to all kinds of memories of our personal past. It is true that this broad notion includes memories that, according to this analysis, will prove to be very different, like the memory of the place where I left the keys yesterday night when I arrived home, the memory of the last wonderful trip to the beach, or the memory of the physical appearance of my dead father. Nonetheless, the indeterminacy of the term personal memory does not constitute a problem because it is precisely the aim of this thesis to analyse and determine with more precision the different memory phenomena that are at first sight united in referring to or including the rememberer in a way that is completely absent from the memory knowledge that we have about impersonal facts of the world. From this commonality arose the choice of the term personal memories, which was also guided by the intention of avoiding terminology used in the field that already has a strong or well-established connotation, such as episodic memory and autobiographical memory.
