AB - Since pain is an internal or subjective experience, it is not possible for a doctor to experience a patient’s pain directly or to understand it fully. However, patients do describe or express their pain using language, which Wittgenstein considered to be a public phenomenon. It is primarily through language that a doctor understands a patent’s pain. This article examines the issue of pain within the context of medical care from the perspective of Wittgenstein’s philosophy of language. It is argued that Wittgenstein’s thinking illuminates what pain is and also how it should be understood by doctors.
