Online conference "On the edge of life"

What significance does philosophical practice have for care at the end of life?

This is one of the key questions we are asking in the FWF-funded research project "Philosophical Practice in Palliative Care and Hospice Work. The role of philosophical reflection in the development of a culture of care and knowledge of dying".

We would now like to share the initial findings from our research with you and enter into a (philosophical) discussion with you.

You can download the flyer for the event here.
