It’s 100 years since the first Royal Institute of Philosophy Lectures were held in 1925. To mark the centenary, the 2025/6 London Lecture Series focuses on the theme Philosophy in Retrospect and in Prospect. Distinguished philosophers have been invited to reflect on where their area of the discipline has got to over the last hundred years, and/or where it might go – or should go – over the next hundred.
All lectures include a post-lecture "in conversation" session with our Academic Director Edward Harcourt, followed by audience Q&A.
The Problematic and the Unproblematic
A traditional aim of moral philosophy has been to call into question the morality of something previously thought innocent—what one might call the problematising of the unproblematic. But it has equally been an aim of moral philosophy to do the opposite, to reveal the innocence of things previously thought immoral, to turn what was previously a matter of blame and condemnation to one of private judgement and discretion. The politics of the last decade have been accused of moralistic excess. If the charge is fair, how might moral philosophy help cure us of moralism?

Best Things to Do

Night view

M33***70

It is definitely worth going. You can deeply feel the profound British culture and the importance Britain attaches to talents in various fields such as science, culture and art. When we went there, we queued for less than an hour to get in. The order arrangement in the venue was very reasonable and the Chinese translator was very useful.

The British Museum

Museums

M29***10

I can attest to this: when visiting museums, you absolutely must purchase an guided tour. This morning I visited the British Museum. Luckily, I wisely chose the more expensive premium guided tour. Diana&#39;s explanation was lively, engaging, and undeniably professional. She not only told you what you saw but also provided an accessible explanation of the history behind the exhibits, allowing you to appreciate the characteristics of different cultures and even compare them with Chinese civilization. Diana, like a wise woman, not only shared the stories behind the exhibits but also showcased the unique humanistic appeal of Britain and the insights of someone who experienced it firsthand. Her profound knowledge and deep understanding of Beijing culture made us feel truly moved and reluctant to leave. My fellow travelers immediately decided to listen for an extra hour. Diana also shared the best camera angles, guaranteed to make your photos go viral on social media.

This is a well-deserved attraction, ideally allowing at least two hours. It&#39;s grand yet unassuming, and historical yet not outdated. Each step is incredibly difficult to take, and the scenery is breathtaking. You won&#39;t want to stop until you&#39;ve seen enough. Photography is not permitted.

The view was beautiful. However the length of visit was a bit short compared to ticket price (personal perspective)
