Existential and Ethical Dialogues
Existential and Ethical Dialogues
Description
Challenges to one’s life and living can be disturbing as they raise questions of what it means for one to be human. To take on another’s or one’s own challenges requires traits and skills. This course enables professionals of human care to jointly explore issues of life and death, illness and wellness, freedom and responsibility, relation and isolation, meaning and meaninglessness, worth and unworthiness, happiness and misery, by training multiple skills and traits for existential and ethical dialogues. So, we join the conversation of Wisdom and Prudence in Francesco Rustici’s painting above.
