The Phenomenology of Pain
«“[A] radical and unitary attempt, newly thought through, at a methodical clarification of this crucial experience. The author’s expositions achieve a high scientific standard and display an admirable familiarity with the enormous literature on the topic, yet without ever losing sight of the phenomenon itself, and he makes himself intelligible to readers who are not specialists in phenomenology. This is certainly not a minor merit of the book…. Any future treatment of pain in a phenomenological or philosophical perspective will accordingly have to pay very serious attention to this book."»

The Phenomenology of Pain is the first book-length investigation of its topic to appear in English. Groundbreaking, systematic, and illuminating, it opens a dialogue between phenomenology and the sciences to argue that science alone cannot clarify the nature of pain experience without incorporating a phenomenological approach.

Agustín Serrano de Haro, Husserl Studies
«“By making phenomenology dialogical, Geniusas opens up his study to findings from disciplines other than phenomenology. Philosophers, scientists, psychologists, sociologists, and really anyone interested in pain experience can both understand and critically engage with the book. Furthermore, … [Geniusas’s] explorations of the relation between listening and treatment of pain conditions, between the life-world and pain experiences, and between the lived body and the mind shed a new light on different aspects of medical treatments.”»
Journal of Phenomenological Psychology
«“Geniusas convincingly substantiates his claim that phenomenology is essential to reconciling various elements of the slippery concept of pain, while also elegantly teaching the basic principles of phenomenology. By focusing on Husserl rather than Heidegger or Merleau-Ponty, who are more commonly invoked in the contemporary phenomenology of health, illness, and medicine, Geniusas allows for a more analytical approach to his subject.”»
Jenny Slatman, author of Our Strange Body: Philosophical Reflections on Identity and Medical Interve
«“Geniusas is the first to have developed a systematic phenomenology of pain, which has never existed before the publication of this book as far as its conceptual scale and empirical base are concerned….It is also its great merit that it outlines new prospects for a dialogue between phenomenology and the positivistic sciences of pain."»
