The French psychiatrist and philosopher, Henry Ey, refers to memory in the attempt to understand the structure of human mental life. Memory, says Ey, supplies the essential dimension of the structure of the conscious being. Thus in order to understand what it is like to have memory it is necessary to analyse the structure of mind. Drawing from his clinical experience Ey offers a theory of human nature that is also influenced by existential philosophy, psychoanalysis and phenomenology. All these disciplines taken together provide a platform for interpreting memory in evolutionary terms. Consciousness is a compound structure that has evolved gradually and at present gives every individual a chance to create a model of a world of his/her own. Memory pays an important role in this endeavour. Memory does not simply retain memories, store them and retrieve. It also involves the ability to control one's time and project one's current experiences on the screen of life plans for the future.
