FBK-ISR International Seminar 2023
There seems to be a return of attention to the dimension of the soul in bioethics and to the dimension of the body in spirituality. How do people look at the spiritual dimension and at the care of the soul, most of all in realities of care and in healthcare contexts? How did the bodily presence become more and more relevant for and in spirituality? How is it possible to deal with these issues respecting very diverse sensitivities of people?
