by Israel B. Bitton (Author)
This interdisciplinary work is premised on a holistic account of the historical, philosophical, neuroscientific, and sociocultural aspects of memory that yields a novel theory: the primary human drive is not to "power" or "pleasure" but to significance and memorability. Above all, we want to be cosmically important and remembered.
