Myth of Pain

"Hardcastle is a philosopher who is not afraid to tackle a difficult scientific issue, and she has summarized a vast amount of complex research which would otherwise remain outside the purview of the general reader. However, the language and concept are often difficult, and the straightforward title of the book and the homely chapter headings are little guide to the density of the data and arguments inside. In spite of a healthy philosophical scepticism about the virtues of reductionism, Hardcastle wants to lift pain out of the organizational and cultural contexts in which it is treated and experienced and convince us that there is a simple truth about it."Hardcastle, Valerie Gray is the author of 'Myth of Pain' with ISBN 9780262082839 and ISBN 0262082837.
