""Unconscious Memory"" is a book written by Samuel Butler, an English novelist, essayist, and critic. First published in 1880, the book explores the concept of memory and its relation to the unconscious mind. Butler argues that memory is not solely a conscious process but is also influenced by unconscious factors. He uses examples from literature, philosophy, and science to support his thesis, drawing on the works of Shakespeare, Darwin, and Freud, among others. The book is divided into three parts, with each section exploring different aspects of unconscious memory. The first part examines the nature of memory and how it is influenced by the unconscious mind. The second part focuses on the relationship between memory and language, exploring how language can shape our memories and how memories can shape our language. The third and final part of the book looks at the role of memory in creativity, arguing that unconscious memory plays a crucial role in the creative process. Overall, ""Unconscious Memory"" is a thought-provoking exploration of memory and its complex relationship with the unconscious mind.Professor Hering's philosophy of the unconscious is of extreme simplicity. He rests upon a fact of daily and hourly experience, namely, that practice makes things easy that were once difficult, and often results in their being done without any consciousness of effort. But if the repetition of an act tends ultimately, under certain circumstances, to its being done unconsciously, so also is the fact of an intricate and difficult action being done unconsciously an argument that it must have been done repeatedly already.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
