We are delighted to invite you to the Compain Spring Talks. The Taiwanese-German research project Compain (The Complexity of Pain and Its Normative Implications) explores how ethical reflections on pain can address its complexity, drawing on perspectives from philosophy, ethics, and neuroscience. We have put together a new series of talks for the spring.
