Publisher's Synopsis

""The Study of Pleasure and Pain"" by Ernest Wood is a philosophical exploration of the nature of pleasure and pain. The author examines various aspects of these experiences, including their physical, psychological, and spiritual dimensions. He also considers the ethical implications of pleasure and pain, arguing that they are not inherently good or bad, but rather depend on the context in which they are experienced. Throughout the book, Wood draws on insights from Eastern and Western philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience to shed light on this complex and often misunderstood topic. Ultimately, ""The Study of Pleasure and Pain"" offers a thought-provoking and insightful look at one of the most fundamental aspects of human experience.The theme of this book is that pain is functional in the advancement and enrichment of life in nature and in man, therefore it should be received with understanding and consideration. The arguments found within are purely scientific and illustrated by examples in the lives of common people. Fully discussed are the topics of how pain arises and ceases and the different kinds of pain.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
