The discourse about memory has either a passive or an active character. In the passive version memory is not more than an imprint or a trace of impressions and thoughts. In the active version memory is a result of inner processes that transform impressions and thoughts. In passive memory the central metaphor is a wax tablet, in active memory the metaphor is a spoonful of milk poured into a glass of water. Both concepts of memory can be found in Plato and Aristotle, and then throughout the entire history of philosophy. The author highlights the functions of active memory.
