The study addresses the question of the extent to which Herder’s early philosophy of speech was influenced by the Platonic idea of anamnesis, namely in relation to the problem of the relationship between reason and speech. Is all speech grounded in sensibility, or does it also somehow reflect the apriority of reason? If the development of reason is tied to speech, which is the product of the specific living conditions of a particular speech community, can we still speak in any way of the universality of reason? Answers to these questions, however partial they may appear in the context of Herder’s early work, are sought in Herder’s early essay Fragments on Recent German Literature. Another of Herder’s early texts, “Plato said...”, is chosen as an interpretive starting point, which shows Herder’s inspiration for the concept of apriority in Leibniz and Mendelssohn.

Two essential concepts of Plato's philosophy are brought into focus - anamnesis and truth. Anamnesis is interpreted as a mental presentation of thought that already fell into oblivion. This interpretation is brought out by linguistic analysis, as anamnesis means reverting the process of forgetting. In Plato, the immortal soul moves from the spiritual world to the corporal world and carries with itself traces of knowledge it has acquired before the incarnation. Thereafter anamnesis is provoked by signals from the sensory world, for instance, by leading questions, physical resemblance to once contemplated ideas or written text. When the soul encounters such signals, it finds in them a faint replica of what it has experienced in the spiritual world. Thereby the soul establishes contact with truth, aletheia and true beings. As alethes, truth is unforgettable, it can recede from what is immediately known but it is never entirely lost. By turning back to its own memory the soul retrieves intelligible images, foregoes the sensory world and concentrates on what precedes it. It is also a practice of renouncing the physical aspects of one's existence, and for this reason philosophy is an exercise in dying, in the separation of the soul from its mortal body.

Anamnesis is one of the central categories in the liturgy of the Roman-Catholic Church. But it is more than a purely conscious phenomenon. It is acting with the intention of keeping a tradition alive. This tradition gives a redeeming value to the re-enactment of past events. The purpose of the article is to show how 'anamnesis' of the Gospel is related to the terms of 'zikaron' and 'azkara' of the Jewish Bible.

The author offers an analysis of selected aspects of the art of Joseph Beuys focusing on his treatment of memory. Memory, argues the author, can be conceived after Sigmund Freud as an active structure embedded in psyche, or after Mircea Eliade as a power to bring us back to our origins in order to give us a chance to achieve a mystic rebirth. In the case of Beuys, says the author, memory appears both as anamnesis that helps to retrieve a lost universe and as a process that permits to rework personal traumas and injuries caused by civilisation. In his biography and through his art Beuys proposes a model behaviour to prove that a creative and self-conscious existence can also be achieved in a struggle with uneasy past. He thereby fulfils the ideals of the Theory of Social Sculpture.

The main goal of the paper is to rethink the several aspects of the so-called Plato's Theory of Recollection and to contribute to the discussion of the differences between the historical Socrates and Socrates in Plato. The author's argumentation draws upon his own interpretation of Plato's 'Meno'. As far as the recollection is concerned his conclusion is that we should distinguish between: a)- the recollection as a myth, playing an 'anti-misologic' and 'protreptic' roles in the dialogue, which should help us not to give up further researches; b)- the recollection itself, which occupies the place between maieutic art of Socratic midwifery and Plato's dialectic, which should help us to approach our experience critically, to find the solutions of the particular problems, and to set off as true those solutions, which, being the subject of inquiry, proved to be sufficiently coherent.
