anamnesis

Plato once wrote of anamnesis, the idea that humans have innate knowledge buried within us, and that learning is the act of unearthing it.

With the exception of negativism, which appears only in the anamnesis, all the cardinal stupor symptoms are found in this history.

Psychoanalysis has confirmed this suspicion in all cases of inversion accessible, and has decidedly changed their anamnesis by filling up the infantile amnesias.

Is not this the Platonic doctrine of anamnesis, Christianised in a most beautiful manner?

The anamnesis of the Ideas is chiefly insisted upon in the mythical portions of the dialogues, and really occupies a very small space in the entire works of Plato.
