SUMMARY:Royal Institute of Philosophy Annual Conference: Meaning in Life and the Knowledge of Death
UID:20260422T151352Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-f5d4878dd-x5n6c
TZID:Europe/London
LOCATION:Liverpool\, United Kingdom
DESCRIPTION:<p>This conference will explore the relation between our mortality (and the knowledge thereof) and our experience of meaningfulness (and meaninglessness)\, with particular focus on the question whether death undercuts meaning in life\, as some life extensionists proclaim\, or whether\, on the contrary\, meaning depends on our mortality.</p>\n<p>The aim of this event is to increase our understanding of a) what meaning in life is: how it is to be understood\, what its constituents are\, and how it can be properly distinguished from other features that are commonly thought to be required for a good life\, such as happiness\, b) in what way\, if any\, mortality can be said to be detrimental to a life&rsquo\;s meaningfulness and what follows from this for the desirability of radical life extension and other (limit-removing) alterations of the present human condition\, and c) in what way\, if any\, death and mortality can be said to be requisites or at least constituents of a meaningful life.</p>
