Summary/Abstract: The article presents the concept of memory within the limits of Radical Constructivism. In the first part the author describes the characteristics of this approach and its attitude to the classical conceptions of cognition and knowledge. Radical Constructivism is viewed as a trend in philosophy of science which derives human cognitive abilities from his biological nature and autopoietic organisation, which justifies the view that human cognitive system is a closed system that shapes knowledge about the world in the form of action construct models of the natural world. In the second part the author discusses constructivist models of memory, understood as a neurological, consciousness, and social phenomenon. The memory seen from a neurological perspective is contained in the architecture of neural connections, as a matter of consciousness it is defined as an ability of memories elaborations and their arrangement for social negotiations, while social memory is explicated by structures of units interaction bound by supra-individual relations of systemic nature.
