[Koglist] reminder:invitation to a talk on`The Value of Suffering`by Michael Brady - 3 November, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14/412

by Krisztina Biber

The CEU Department of Philosophy cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Michael Brady (University of Glasgow) on The Value of Suffering Tuesday, 3 November 2015, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT Pain and suffering are both widespread and varied: think of all of the very many kinds of pain, emotional distress, physical discomfort, and mental anguish that human beings experience. It is, moreover, widely agreed that all of these different forms of suffering are bad: we have reason to avoid, alleviate, and reduce our own pain and suffering, and that of others. However, suffering can also be valuable, and in many different ways. In this talk I’ll explain some of the ways in which pain and suffering can be good for us, and for others Krisztina Biber Department of Philosophy Coordinator ------------------------------------------ Central European University Nador u. 9. | 1051 Budapest, Hungary Office: + 36.1.327.3806 | biberk(a)ceu.hu | www.ceu.hu
