| summary | Pain memories and imagination hold significant importance in a clinical context. Healthcare professionals depend on patients' recollections of pain to acquire their histories, which are vital for effective diagnosis and treatment. Imagination serves a key role in guiding clinical decisions by enabling patients to anticipate potential outcomes and consider various treatment options. In this talk, two related issues on this topic will be examined. The first part focuses on what it means to remember pain successfully. By exploring memory accuracy conditions from the philosophy of memory literature to comprehend successful pain memory, a discrepancy between this understanding and the notion of successful pain memory in clinical practice will be presented. The second part investigates the extent to which one can imagine or remember what it is like for oneself to experience pain or suffering. Considering the motivational and agency-disruption characteristics of pain and suffering, the challenges of decision-making based on such memory and imagination will be highlighted. |
