ABSTRACT
This chapter shows that recollection in particular plays an important role within the system, although its significance has not always been recognized by the scholarship. This might be partially explained by the fact that there is no single systematic locus where Hegel discusses it: rather, recollection appears at several points within the system itself, usually crucial points of transition between different parts of it. The chapter considers the three most important discussions of recollection and memory in Hegel's work, namely those could be find in the Psychology, the Phenomenology of Spirit, and the Logic. It illuminates the function of these concepts in Hegel's system and shows how this task can both support a better understanding of Hegel's philosophy as a whole and offer some insights to a general philosophical reflection on memory as such.
