Abstract
JARAMILLO, Luis Guillermo and AGUIRRE, Juan Carlos. A VIEW OF THE ETHICAL LIFEWORLD FROM EXPERIENCE OF CLINICAL PAIN. rev.udcaactual.divulg.cient. [online]. 2012, vol.15, n.1, pp.9-17. ISSN 0123-4226.
This paper explores the phenomena of pain based on the ethical considerations of Emmanuel Levinas. For this purpose, some phenomenological postulates about the world of life are exposed; later, the proposal of the non-intentional consciousness in relation with the phenomena of pain is unfolded; finally, both the thesis of world of life as the nonintentional thesis are considered useful as base to analyze the clinical phenomena of pain. This article presents some conclusions that allow to reflect about the medical ethics in front of pain in the world of life.
