Summary
Bojan Jovanović: The Power of Pain
The book The Power of Pain is the first work in our country that examines from an anthropological point of view the phenomenon of the most unpleasant emotion that follows a person's life from the moment of his arrival in the world and characterizes a whole series of phenomena in traditional and contemporary culture. Basing his research on modern scientific knowledge and a multidisciplinary theoretical and methodological approach, the author interprets the most important aspects of pain in the context of their significance for an adequate understanding of the position of modern man. The results of these researches contribute to the awareness of man's self-healing potential and increase his possibilities for effectively overcoming life's troubles. As pain is also an occasion for human empathy, these results are a significant contribution to establishing the anthropology of pain as a discipline that could contribute to its proper self-understanding.
