Abstract
Discussions about further developments of the medicine and overcoming consequences of the (post)modern life medicalization focus subjective aspects of medical pathology. The article interprets some descriptive categories for experience of chronic painful illness, examining distinctions between pain and suffering, disease as natural phenomenon and illness as real human experience, and defining different contexts of the talks about the meaning of illness. Basic methodological collisions between “cultural” and “personal” strategies of the analysis of meanings of illness are described.
Keywords:
illness, meaning, chronic pain, pain experience, life world, medicalization
