The still unfathomable workings of memory do not cease to fascinate psychiatrists, philosophers, sociologists, men of letters, and, as we have seen, lawyers. There is nothing surprising in that: remembering and forgetting affect all aspects of our lives. In my paper I have made an attempt to introduce a broad scope of hypotheses created by various disciplines, some of which (like philosophy) took interest in memory for hundreds of years, while others (like sociology) found memory a worthy object of academic pursuit only in the 20th century. These differences notwithstanding, they have all contributed to our making sense of the world we live in with regard to the working of our mind (the theory of engrams), the working of society (collective memory), the working of our 'soul' (various philosophical theories), or the workings of law and politics (the forces behind German and Argentinian government policies). As I attempted to demonstrate, we will be able to 'really' discover memory only if we manage to see it as a whole, from a broader perspective. When we manage to translate the observations on memory from such disciplines as literature and philosophy, to others, like political studies or jurisprudence, for example, we may be able to get unexpected, yet highly useful, results, which will help us better to understand the mechanisms of remembering and forgetting, and their unobvious, but intense, influence on many areas of knowledge.
