其他摘要:In this theoretical contribution I start by discussing the relevance of the educational dimension of pain and—in the light of the distinction between physical, psychological, and moral pain, and the division of the problem of pain into two parts (the problem of suffering and the problem of evil)—I note that the experience of physical pain is not well investigated in the educational field. In the second part of this article, I examine the analysis of physical pain proposed by the philosopher Emmanuel Levinas in his text, Time and the Other. I then briefly consider, taking into account Levinas’ mature philosophical thinking, the question of suffering for the suffering of the Other, which constitutes an opening into the ethical perspective of responsibility. I conclude by showing how these philosophical analyses and observations can provide a contribution to education. My thesis is that the experience of physical pain can open up glimmers of possibility and hope: the role of education is to help turn these glimmers into shapes of growth.
