Abstract

In this paper, I explore how our experience of pain and suffering structure our experience over time. I argue that pain and suffering are not as easily dissociable, in living and in conceptual analysis, as philosophers have tended to think. Specifically, I do not think that there is only a contingent connection between physical pain and psychological suffering. Rather, physical pain is partially constitutive of existential suffering. My analysis is informed by contemporary thinking about pain and suffering as well as Indian Buddhist philosophy.

痛苦、苦难与生命的时间：佛教哲学分析

在本文中，我将探讨我们对疼痛和痛苦的体验是如何随着时间的推移而构建我们的经验的。我认为，无论是在生活中还是在概念分析中，疼痛和痛苦都不像哲学家们倾向于认为的那样容易分离。具体来说，我并不认为身体上的疼痛和心理上的痛苦之间只有偶然的联系。相反，身体上的痛苦部分地构成了生存上的痛苦。我的分析参考了当代关于疼痛与痛苦的思想以及印度佛教哲学。

期刊介绍： Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences is an interdisciplinary, international journal that serves as a forum to explore the intersections between phenomenology, empirical science, and analytic philosophy of mind. The journal represents an attempt to build bridges between continental phenomenological approaches (in the tradition following Husserl) and disciplines that have not always been open to or aware of phenomenological contributions to understanding cognition and related topics. The journal welcomes contributions by phenomenologists, scientists, and philosophers who study cognition, broadly defined to include issues that are open to both phenomenological and empirical investigation, including perception, emotion, language, and so forth. In addition the journal welcomes discussions of methodological issues that involve the variety of approaches appropriate for addressing these problems. Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences also publishes critical review articles that address recent work in areas relevant to the connection between empirical results in experimental science and first-person perspective.Double-blind review procedure The journal follows a double-blind reviewing procedure.
