Perspectives on Human Suffering

"Perspectives on Human Suffering" is an interdisciplinary academic book that addresses the central theme of human suffering. It brings together a variety of perspectives from different disciplines that are typically considered in isolation. The essays in this volume are divided into three main sections: philosophical reflections, approaches from the humanities, and legal, medical, and therapeutic contexts. This structure allows readers to grasp and understand the complexity of the topic from different viewpoints. The contributions come from a diverse range of professionals, including philosophers, medical practitioners, historians, legal experts, as well as specialists in literature and Jewish studies. Together, they address the human dimension of suffering and the ethical and social demands that arise from the acknowledgment of suffering.
