Workshop: New Directions in Philosophy of Suffering
The History of Witches and Wizards, 1720. (The Wellcome Collection)
What is suffering? How does it differ from pain, depression, and other negatively valenced states? Does suffering have special ethical significance? How does it interact with identity and integrity? What is the relationship between suffering and desire?
This one-day workshop will explore new philosophical and historical work on these and related topics. Find more information in the program below (PDF).
