Theory of Memory in the Thought of Bernard Stiegler and Its Educational Implication

The actual operation of school education cannot be separated from the participation of memory. In contemporary research on memory, Bernard Stiegler’s memory theory is representative and worthy of attention. His memory theory has one ontology, that is, human beings are technical beings, which is represented by three types, namely, the primary retention based on perception, the secondary retention based on recall and the tertiary retention based on object. These three types of memory provide some inspiration for the study of memory in education, which is mainly manifested in two levels of concept and behavior, namely, rediscovering and paying attention to the tertiary retention of educational objects and properly handling the relationship between individual memory and collective memory in education.
