KiC Lectures #2: Absences Join us for a public lecture on the philosophy of absence by acclaimed author and Philosophy Bites co-founder, Nigel Warburton.

Many of us struggle to imagine a future in which we will become an absence for others: we lack the resources to think about a world without our first-person perspective.

Nigel Warburton explores some of the meaning, ethics and aesthetics of Absences. Don't miss it!
