Summary/Abstract: The author of the paper discusses the category of memory which has a permanent place in aretology as an integral component of the cardinal virtue of prudence. Aristotle saw memory as a key element of intellectual activity, because without it, recall and learning would not be possible. Selective memory allows us to filter information, focusing on the most relevant and helpful in everyday life. This is a natural mechanism to protect against information overload. Collective memory includes ideas about a given community’s past and can be distorted by phenomena such as collective amnesia. Memory also plays an important role in shaping truthfulness and assessing one’s own behavior.
