Rethinking Mortality Through Existential Concept of Natality

We are all born, and we are all going to die. My dissertation aims at reconciling these oppositions by tracing the relation between natality and mortality. My hypothesis is that taking into account the features of our existence constituted by being born can reshape our perception of personal mortality and equip us with helpful strategies for dealing with the fear and anxieties caused by death.

PhD seminar

The PhD Seminar meets on Tuesdays (10am-12; the alpha room at the fifth floor) during the term weeks. At this seminar, our PhD students presents their ongoing work and drafts of dissertation chapters. But we also meet to talk about what it means to think and write philosophy in a good way in contemporary academia, to prepare our PhD’s for a life in the Academia. The Centre’s more senior researches are usually present as well.

Final Exams

The PhD study ends with two committee examinations: I. State Doctoral Examination and II. Dissertation Defence. Typically, they take place jointly. The State Doctoral Examination has to take place prior to Dissertation Defence. For each examination, the student applies on a typified form together with obligatory attachments (see below for details).
