A feasible way of approaching memory might be through phenomenology of time. Time is here considered constitutive of human being-in-the-world and, particularly important here; it is seen as a structural connection of future, past and present (Heidegger 1962, Ricoeur 1984). These three dimensions are further seen as moments of mental action – as acts of expectation, memory and attention, respectively – each considered not in isolation but in interaction with one another. From that point of view, memories are organized and called up by attention to the present and the future or, in other words, by being-towards them.
