About the Book

What does it mean to suffer and can we make meaning out of suffering? Exploring these questions through theory, practise and representation, this book attempts to shed light on these difficult questions. Taking an interdisciplinary approach to this topic, contributions to this work have come from seventeen authors working in a wide variety of disciplines; from philosophy and literature, to law and sociology, and are peppered with personal accounts and stories. This book does not aim to have all the answers to this most complex of subjects, however through a broad and inclusive authorship, it provides an in-depth, multifaceted study of the idea of suffering.
