Workshop organized by the members of the CAS Research Focus “Meaning of Life”.

This interdisciplinary conference brings together scholars from philosophy, psychology, literary studies, psychiatry, and (palliative) medicine to explore how human beings experience meaning and how different disciplines conceptualise and investigate this phenomenon. By placing conceptual, empirical, narrative, and clinical perspectives into dialogue, the conference aims to develop a richer understanding of meaning as a fundamental dimension of human life.

King (University of Missouri), Roland Kipke (Bielefeld), Iddo Landau (University of Haifa), Dominik Markl (Innsbruck), Crystal Park (University of Connecticut), Markus Paulus (LMU), Ricarda Scheiner (LMU University Hospital).
