"You've by now no doubt discovered my abiding interest in pain. I'm presently writing the definitive work on the subject."
The Princess Bride

This is a blog by Adam Swenson - Assistant Professor of Philosophy at California State University, Northridge.
He is unique in combining a thorough knowledge of the various aspects of pain including research with an understanding of human predicament delivering incisive , thought–provoking comments.
He is “particularly keen on studies concerning the relationships between gender and pain; the role of depression, anxiety, and other affective disorders in pain; and the ways caregivers' attitudes influence their patients' pain and recovery.”

Warning: Adam’s comic “occasionally contains strong language (which may be unsuitable for children), unusual humor (which may be unsuitable for adults), and advanced mathematics (which may be unsuitable for liberal-arts majors).”
