On the Dvaita philosophy of Madhva, 13th century Hindu philosopher.

Malcolm's discussion of memory is the most detailed and comprehensive in recent philosophical literature, but it does not result in a philosophical theory of memory or even an "analysis of the concept" of memory. Denying that the word "memory" has a "unified employment," Malcolm spends most of his time exposing mistakes and confusions in what philosophers and psychologists have said about memory. He begins by attacking the common assumption that memory is focused exclusively on the past. Although we may remember (...) what we have seen or done, we may also remember a face or town that we are now seeing, and we may even remember that we have an appointment today or an exam tomorrow. The connection these "objects" of memory have with the past is that, if we do remember them, we must have known them, been acquainted with them, or, as in the case of remembering how to make soup, been able to do them in the past.
