Principlism vs. Political Philosophy in Public Health Ethics?
Time: Monday, December 1, 2025, 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm CET
Venue: Online via Zoom
Seminar of the International Working Group „Public Health Ethics“ of the German Academy of Ethics in Medicine (AEM) and the German Society for Public Health (DGPH)
In this session, we will explore the philosophy of public health ethics and hear Prof. Sridhar Venkatapuram, Associate Professor at King’s College London. In his lecture, he will explore how revitalizing public health ethics requires reuniting it with political philosophy, especially in light of current movements to decolonize knowledge, advance epistemic justice, and challenge dominant Western perspectives. More information can be found on our website.
There will be time for questions and discussion at the end.
Speaker: Prof. Sridhar Venkatapuram, PhD, King’s College London
Moderator: Jan-Christoph Heilinger, Professor of Moral and Political Philosophy at Witten/Herdecke University
