The study that O'Brien is talking about in this sentence is a branch of philosophy. It deals with thinking in an extremely vague way, and answers are not always clear and defined. It focuses mainly on existence, the definition of possibility and object, among other things. O'Brien is saying this to Winston to make him consider the fact that maybe he hasn't thought about as much as he thinks he has, in an attempt to break his spirit. Winston hadn't thought about how memories don't exist in places farther than the human mind. If the Party controls the records and the mind, then the Party controls all history.
