Abstract
The author of the book focuses on two “metaphors” of memory, i.e. two ideas about how the act of memory is carried out and how then we “restore” what is remembered. Metaphor of storage is absolutely understandable and familiar to every man. At first glance it seems to be a universal form of memory. We are all in our everyday experience believe that memories are “stored” in a certain area of our consciousness and recovered from it if needed. However, one of the main theses of the book is the claim that such a widespread understanding of memory although captures some of its features, but still does not correspond to its essence and is not able to explain its meaning. The second “metaphor” describes memory as a project. This approach seems to be paradoxical (because the project is something adressed in the future), but the author shows convincingly that only an understanding of the memory can grasp its essence, and puts it at the center of the human personality.

Key words
Metaphor, memory, personality, store, project, imprint, neglect, Plato, St. Augustine, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, Henri-Louis Bergson.

Abstract
This review is devoted to one of intriguing topics in psychological literature of 20th century — primary phenomenological world of a child. The author, American philosopher Talia Welsh, addresses to Merleau-Ponty’s thought, which is indubitable a challenging and fruitful in this sphere, grounded on Abstract: phenomenological and postmodern traditions. The essential feature of his thought consist in elaboration of ecological, existential structure of child’s experience: in his being-in-the-world and his being-with-others. Besides, Merleau-Ponty surmounts husserlian taboo in the respect of natural sciences, appealing to a number of psychological, psychoanalytical, empirical data. Welsh elucidates one of the controversial thesis of French philosopher about syncretic sociability of child’s way of being. According to Merleau-Ponty, at first there is no discrete sense of the self and sense of others, due to more fundamental apriori of any interactive, intersubjective being, which is anonymous and asubjective, but social life. Welsh demonstrates actuality of Merleau-Ponty’s ideas, addressing to contemporary research of child’s experience of the others in interdisciplinary sphere (Sh. Gallagher, A. Meltzoff, B. Stawarska etc.) The significant idea of this book is to refresh our look on the nature of subjectivity. In situation of primary experience of the world and others, before any theoretical stance, which provokes us to generalize and to universalize our experiential content, we already understand it, them in phenomenological, existential stance, by acting in our primary environment and existing toward to, with others. Several psychological examples confirm this idea. Welsh makes a point of connection Merleau-Ponty’s ideas with ones of Marx and Freud, who unmask the idea of absolute truth in a favor of hermeneutical understanding of factical life.
