Encounters in Ultimate Situations. Philosophical Practice and Palliative Care in Dialog

Dying, death and mourning often lead to a preoccupation with philosophical questions, and this is where patients, relatives and various professionals and volunteers meet in a special way. The conference deals with the social significance of care at the end of life. It brings together actors from philosophy, philosophical practice, care work and research to engage in an interdisciplinary dialogue and exchange of perspectives.
