Description

Welcome to the London Lecture Series  2024-25! This year our talks focus on questions surrounding the theme of "Remembering and Forgetting."

In this first talk of our latest series, Rima Bisu explores the important role forgetting plays in facilitating and protecting moral goods, such as forgiveness and privacy.  Forgetting plays an indispensable role in our lives. Sometimes we want aspects of our identity to be forgotten, and there is a distinctive harm that accompanies the permanence of some content about us. How do we navigate this duty to forget with other important elements of our social and epistemic lives?
