This book is an enquiry into memory in the Western world. Specifically, memory is the framework of culture, because it links the present to the past - or tradition - and projects it into the future. For this reason, any work focusing on memory involves a double challenge: (1) to reveal the origin of concepts and (2) to glimpse the course of thoughts.This is the case of the present volume, in which the authors make several tastings of Europe's intellectual heritage, by taking into account both the Greek origin of this legacy and its relevance for understanding the European philosophical heritage.In particular, these papers focus on the Aristotelian tradition, the true keystone of Europe, and on other currents of thought that have also played an essential role in the intellectual evolution of the Old Continent. In the latter field, there are contributions, for instance, on philosophical-religious traditions such as Orphism or on certain fundamental aspects of Neoplatonism both in the Classical World and in Christian authors.The volume concludes with various works on the survival of these intellectual trends from the Renaissance to the present day. Consequently, this work offers the opportunity to delve deeper into some of the aspects that define Western civilisation, observed both from its origin and its evolution over the centuries.The volume contains papers in Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and English.Este libro es una indagacion en la memoria del mundo occidental. Especificamente, la memoria es el armazon de la cultura, porque liga el presente al pasado -o tradicion- y lo proyecta al futuro. Por ello, toda obra centrada en la memoria entrana un doble reto: (1) revelar el origen de los conceptos y (2) atisbar el rumbo de los pensamientos.Este es el caso del presente volumen, en el que realizan diversas catas en el patrimonio intelectual europeo. Lo hace teniendo en cuenta tanto el origen griego de ese legado como su relevancia para comprender el acervo filosofico europeo.En concreto, se centra en la tradicion aristotelica, verdadera clave de boveda de Europa, y en otras corrientes de pensamiento que tambien han jugado un papel esencial en la evolucion intelectual del viejo continente. En este ultimo ambito hay contribuciones, por ejemplo, sobre tradiciones filosofico-religiosas como el orfismo o sobre determinados aspectos fundamentales del neoplatonismo en el mundo clasico y en autores cristianos.Concluye el volumen con diversos trabajos sobre la pervivencia de esas tendencias intelectuales desde el renacimiento hasta nuestros dias. En consecuencia, esta obra ofrece la oportunidad de profundizar en algunos aspectos que definen nuestra civilizacion, observados tanto desde su origen como desde su evolucion a lo largo de los siglos.
