This chapter draws together the different strands of the book and it also resolves some outstanding issues, responding to some questions that were left unanswered. If autobiographical memory can involve memories of repeated or more generic events, can the field and observer perspective distinction be usefully applied in these cases? If autobiographical memory becomes semanticized over time, do observer perspectives involve more semantic information? What does remembering from-the-outside tell us about the nature of personal memory and the ways we have of getting outside of ourselves? This chapter answers questions such as these and summarizes the progress made by the book on understanding the nature of personal memory and the perspectival mind.
