Philosophy of Pain and Bodily Identity "A Phenomenological and Analytical Reading"

Abstract

Expérience That Transcendes its Meduction to a mere Physical Sensation، Proposing it Instead as a key entry point for understanding bodily identity. The study is grounded in the Assomption that pain cannot be fully Explained in Biological or Neurological Terms; Rather، It Constitutes a Phenomenological Experience Through Which the relationship between the Self and the body is Disclosed, Revealing Fundamental aspects of human existence moments of Vulnerability and Suffering.

Employing a Phenomenological approach، the paper Analyzes pain as it is Lived from within Drawing on the philosophies of Edmund Husserl and Maurice Merleau- ponty، Who Conceive the body as a lived body Rather Than a mere Physical Object. From This Perspective، pain Reconfigures the Subject's Awareness of the body Transforming it from a transparent medium of Being- in-the-world Into a dense focus of attention، Thereby Disrupting the Habitual relation between the Self and the world.
