Abstract

The experience of suffering is a challenge for philosophical thought, but not only for this, as in suffering we find precisely the turning point of philosophy and theology. Phenomenology offers a privileged perspective for observing this phenomenon: in fact, it wants to be a “science of experience”. By means of the analyses of Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger, it is in fact possible to demonstrate that pain, while concealing the experience of the other/Other and that of the giving of meaning, on the other hand reveals its inescapable necessity. This is the thesis we wish to develop in this article. The perspective that we want to address links in an unprecedented way the phenomenological categories of body and empathy, given that they are studied in the horizon of suffering.
