Forgiveness: Do we need it? - Lucy Allais

Forgiveness: Do we need it? - Lucy Allais

Remember Who You Are: Personal Identity and Memory; Presented by Marya Schechtman
Q: How does our identity change throughout our lives impact the memories?
The understanding of one's identity develops over time and is intricately connected to how memories are updated and contextualized.
Conservation as a Method of Remembering (and forgetting) - Erich Hatala Matthes
Q: If conservation is related and fixed to the authentic, if there is a problem in defining what constitutes the authenticity of an object, is that problematic?
It's often a mistake to try to index authenticity to a particular point in time, as any way of answering that question is going to be arbitrary. Rather, we should focus on restoring significance and our relationship to the object, rather than merely its physical state.
Trauma, Emotion, and Memory; Presented by James Dawes
Q: Have you looked at how different Eastern philosophies treat a concept of trauma?
There's a different philosophy behind trauma and its conceptualization, but also a different experience of it.
