Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of The Decenter. I'm your host as always, Ricardo Lopes, and today I'm joined by Dr. Michael Cholby. He is professor and personal chair in philosophy at the University of Edinburgh. He has published widely in ethical theory, practical ethics, and the philosophy of deaf and dying.
And today we're going to talk about the philosophy of deaf and dying. So, Dr. Cholby, welcome to the show. It's a pleasure to have you one. That's a pleasure for me and I appreciate the invitation.
So let me start with perhaps an introductory question. So what is the philosophy of deaf and dying? What kinds of topics and questions do you explore there? Well, almost every uh philosophical tradition in the world, Western, non-Western, Asian, etc., eventually comes to the question of of what significance or importance we should assign to our deaths and to the fact that we are mortal.
