About this listen

Every act of knowing carries within it a quiet act of forgetting. Knowledge as Oblivion reveals the hidden symmetry between learning and loss, understanding and erasure, showing that progress in thought is not an accumulation but a perpetual renewal through disappearance.

In this bold and luminous work, Boris Kriger dismantles the myth of intellectual continuity and invites the listener to reconsider what it means to “know.” Blending philosophy, psychology, and poetic precision, he shows that every idea lives only by replacing another, that memory itself is a creative destruction, and that forgetting is not a flaw of the mind but its deepest method of survival.

From ancient skepticism to cognitive science, from Nietzsche’s affirmation of illusion to the loops of modern information theory, Kriger maps the spirals of human understanding — the way truth returns under new disguises, and meaning renews itself through the ashes of its own certainties. Written in crystalline, meditative prose, the book transforms epistemology into an existential art: the art of letting go without losing awareness.

Knowledge as Oblivion
is a rare philosophical work that is both intellectually rigorous and emotionally resonant — a companion for those who sense that wisdom lies not in collecting answers but in learning how to release them.

In an age obsessed with information, this book reminds us that true clarity begins where memory fades.
