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 Scargill House in Yorkshire and
Launde Abbey in Leicestershire (both Christian retreat centres,
although the meetings are not primarily 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. |
