Filosofisk poliklinikk: Uncertainty in Medicine and Health Sciences

Welcome to the Filosofisk poliklinikk where this time the theme is uncertainty in medicine and health sciences.

For many modern individuals, uncertainty is perceived as inconvenient, uncomfortable, and unwanted. More and more people are taking measures to limit the experience of uncertainty in their own lives, and the reduction of uncertainty is a central political and medical goal in contemporary society. There is a trend in society towards seeking to understand, predict, and precisely intervene in even the most complex systems known – including biological and social systems.

The introductory lectures will be in English. Contributions from participants can be in English or Norwegian. The meeting is open to anyone interested in the topic.

10.04.2024 – 17.00–19.30 Alrek (Møterom Midgard)

Registration deadline: 02.04.2024 – 23.59
