Excerpt from The Mneme
IN translating the Mneme during the years 1912 - 14 I had the benefit of the constant advice of its distinguished author, whose great wish it was to present his theory, in English, to the scientific world.
The translation was completed in July 1914, but the publication of the work could not be arranged for until six years later, after the death of the author.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of memory and how it manifests across all life forms. The author meticulously explores the concept of memory as a fundamental property of all living organisms, drawing parallels between seemingly distinct processes like heredity, habit, and conscious memory. Building upon the groundwork laid by previous thinkers like Ewald Hering and Samuel Butler, this work aims to unify these disparate phenomena under a single, unifying principle: the Mneme. Through detailed analysis, the author dissects the impact of stimuli on living organisms, introducing the key concept of the "Engram" ââ â the enduring, latent modification in an organism's irritable substance caused by a stimulus. Engrams can be acquired through individual experiences or inherited from ancestors, revealing a complex interplay of individual and inherited memory. The book goes on to examine how engrams become "ecphorised," or activated, exploring the various ways in which latent memories are triggered and brought to the forefront of an organism's behavior. This exploration delves into the profound implications of the Mneme for understanding the very nature of development and evolution, and the intricate ways in which life adapts to a constantly changing environment.
