MIND
Anglo-Saxon origin: “gemynd” = memory
Distinguish between two views of memory:
- memory as static concept (stored information)
- memory as dynamic concept, i.e. giving meaning, intentionality.
We are all “memories in the making” (Yusra Laila Visser)
- Commemorating David Kinsey means participating in his mindfulness, his intentionality.
- Mind = construction of intentionality, a process that contributes not only to our own existence, but that enhances existence in general.
