Über die Veranstaltung

The Taiwanese-German research project COMPAIN (The Complexity of Pain and Its Normative Implications) is investigating how ethical reflections on pain can adequately address its complexity. This topic has been emphasised in discussions from various fields, including medicine, neuroscience, and the philosophy of mind.

The COMPAIN research group invites scholars and the wider public to join a conversation on the complexity of pain and its ethical dimensions. To foster this exchange, we are launching the COMPAIN Lecture Series, featuring talks dedicated to pain-related themes from philosophical, medical, and interdisciplinary perspectives.

Fredrik Svenaeus's talk on "The importance of enworlded selfhood for understanding chronic-pain-related suffering" will take place on Thursday, June 4, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

Sabrina Coninx & Naja Rathje Lennert's talk on "Pain and the limits of epistemic injustice: Turning to lived experiences and social structures" will take place on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
