OverviewUnconscious Memory (1880) By Samuel Butler Where do memories go when they are not in consciousness? This book argues that human 'progress' results from 'strokes of cunning - to a sense of need, and to study of the past and present which have given shrewd people a key with which to unlock the chambers of the future'. Butler believed that instinct was inherited memory and disagreed with the view of a world shaped by natural selection and Darwinian theory. While Butler's theory may not have proved scientifically convincing, his views on unconscious memory are considered an anticipation of the Freudian subconscious and social psychology.
