The phenomenon of pain presents problems and puzzles for
philosophers who want to understand its nature. Though pain might
seem simple, there has been disagreement since Aristotle about
whether pain is an emotion, sensation, perception, or disturbed
state of the body. Despite advances in psychology, neuroscience,
and medicine, pain is still poorly understood and multiple theories
of pain abound. The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Pain is an
outstanding reference source to the key topics, problems, and
debates in this exciting and interdisciplinary subject and is the
first collection of its kind. Comprising over thirty chapters by a
team of international contributors the Handbook is divided into
nine clear parts: Modeling pain in philosophy Modeling pain in
neuroscience Modeling pain in psychology Pain in philosophy of mind
Pain in epistemology Pain in philosophy of religion Pain in ethics
Pain in medicine Pain in law As well as fundamental topics in the
philosophy of pain such as the nature, role, and value of pain,
many other important topics are covered including the neurological
pathways involved in pain processing; biopsychosocial and
cognitive-behavioural models of pain; chronic pain; pain and
non-human animals; pain and knowledge; controlled substances for
pain; pain and placebo effects; and pain and physician-assisted
suicide. The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Pain is essential
reading for students and researchers in philosophy of mind,
philosophy of psychology and ethics. It will also be very useful to
researchers of pain from any field, especially those in psychology,
medicine, and health studies.
