Highlights: Pain (by Massimo Sebastiani) - The word of the week. Why do we call pain both what we feel when we break an arm and what we feels when a loved one hurts us? What is our body telling us with pain? Ultimately it is a form of communication, from the outside (i.e. the body) to the inside (the mind): pain signals us of danger and pushes us to seek help. From Spinoza to Giovanni Allevi, a journey into the word pain.

From Spinoza to Giovanni Allevi, a journey into the word pain. (HANDLE)
