Pain itself is a complex sensoric impression and hence ruled by laws of basic sciences and medicine. In parallel, convictions, personal self-perception and cultural background do influence the individual feeling of pain. The lecture aims to bridge a broad view of the problem by broaching the issues of physiology of pain to experiences of pain and their expression in arts and literature

Objective

Interdisciplinary formulation of concepts how pain is percieved and how individuals cope with it
