Explore the power of narrative as the last pillar of emotion in this thought-provoking TEDx talk by Takanobu Kinjo, a clinical ethicist at the University of the Ryukyu Hospital. Drawing from his experiences as a philosopher working in a hospital and his personal encounters with loss, Kinjo emphasizes the enduring impact of the stories we co-author with others. Learn how these narratives can continue to support and inspire people even after we're gone, and discover the importance of becoming a "continuing existence" through our shared stories. Delve into the concept of narrative ethics and its application in healthcare, as Kinjo discusses how co-creating narratives between patients and healthcare workers can contribute to patient well-being, even when a cure is not possible. Gain insights into Kinjo's vision for a society where individuals can lead ethically meaningful lives and understand the role of storytelling in achieving this goal.
