Discussion of philosophical and ethical
issues associated with pain, suffering and their management |
Description
of Activities
and Scientific Focus |
Annual 3-day meetings devoted to discussion
of philosophical and ethical issues. These are held alternate
years at Rydal Hall in the Lake District and Launde Abbey
in Leicestershire (both Christian retreat centres, although
the meetings are not religious in content and open to
those of all faiths and none), which being set in some
of the loveliest landscapes in Britain, provide ideal
surroundings for meetings of a reflective nature, as well
as for mental and physical recreation - walking is an
important feature of the programmes. The format of the
meetings, with considerably more time devoted to discussion
of papers than the presentation, is designed to maximise
interchange of ideas and ventilation of problems. |
