Philosophy of Pain

Addresses pain in many forms, including the pain inflicted by torture; the pain suffered in disease; and the pain of anxiety, grief and depression. The author examines the dual nature of pain: how we attempt to avoid it as much as possible in our daily lives and yet, conversely, obtain a thrill from seeking it.

Abordeaza durerea in multe forme, inclusiv durerea provocata de tortura; durerea suferita in boala; si durerea de anxietate, durere si depresie. Autorul examineaza natura duala a durerii: cum incercam sa o evitam cat mai mult posibil in viata noastra de zi cu zi si totusi, dimpotriva, obtinem un fior cautand-o.
