On the Edge of Life - Philosophical Reflection in the Hospice

Am Rande des Lebens

What significance does philosophical practice have for end-of-life care? We share our findings from university research.

This is what we learnt about dying. We Share our knowledge on successful dying.

What does successful dying mean? And what significance does communal philosophizing have for the end of life? Over the last two years, we have interviewed colleagues on these and other questions, organized our own workshops and philosophical evenings, read books, and much more.

On UNESCO World Philosophy Day (third Thursday in November, i.e. on November 21st) we will come together via Zoom and present our research results. The event will be held in German.
