To Ponder Pain not from a Human Perspective but to Ponder the Human Being as Painful : Heidegger's Meditation 'On Pain'
2021
Abstract
The feeling of pain is the ever so common form of evidence of emotion and emotionality. The concrete example of Martin Heidegger's meditation on the experience and evidence of pain leads to a surprising transformation of the relation of the human beings and pain itself: not to look upon pain from the point of view of the human beings but to learn to see and to understand the very human beings as a painful being or as a being of pain.
Thus it's made possible to learn to see and to understand a brand new form of how the being itself appears in its disclosing to the human beings. Heidegger reveals himself as a thinker of transformation requiring from its reader the willingness to transform.
