Menschliches Leid – Perspektiven der Philosophie und Theologie, des Buddhismus und der Medizin: Medizinische Gesellschaft Mainz e.V. (German Edition) (Original PDF from Publisher)

By Mechthild Dreyer, Tonke Dennebaum, Theodor Junginger, and Monika Seibert-Grafe
This book presents the perspectives of philosophy, Christian and Jewish theology, Buddhism, medicine, psychology and psychotherapy on human suffering. One’s own suffering and that of others are a fundamental part of human life, as are joy and happiness. The physical or mental stress can have many causes and questions are often asked about the why or the meaning. Those affected quarrel with the fact that they of all people have to experience suffering. The authors discuss these questions about the causes, the explanation and the meaning of suffering as well as the possibilities of alleviating and overcoming suffering in the context of their respective specialist areas, so that the reader opens up a broad and interdisciplinary view of human suffering.

Furthermore, the perspective of someone directly affected by suffering is conveyed through his memorable description of what he has experienced.
