"By Valentine Worth, With Diagrammatic Illustrations by Sona Dora
An abridgement of neurophysiologist Geoffrey Sonnabend's monumental three volume work, in which he departed from all previous memory research with the premise that memory is an illusion, and that forgetting, not remembering, is the inevitable outcome of all experience.
From the Contributions from the Museum of Jurassic Technology guide leaflet series.
S.F.D.U.I. Press, 1991, staple-bound pamphlet, 8 pages, B&W diagrams.
*This text is also included in the Museum's Jubilee Catalogue."
"The Delani/Sonnabend Halls which occupy the entire rear quarters of the Museum's original building house a sequential array of exhibits which, when taken together, detail the lives and work of Madelena Delani, a singer of art songs and operatic material and Geoffrey Sonnabend, a neurophysiologist and memory researcher who's three volume work "Obliscence: Theories of Forgetting and the Problem of Matter" stands a milestone in the field.
In the work Mr. Sonnabend departed from all previous memory research with the premise that memory is an illusion. Forgetting, he believed, not remembering is the inevitable outcome of all experience. From this perspective, he states, "We, amnesiacs all, condemned to live in an eternally fleeting present, have created the most elaborate of human constructions, memory, to buffer ourselves against the intolerable knowledge of the irreversible passage of time and the irretrievability of its moments and events."
