I just deleted a large paragraph from the article because it was fundmentally wrong. The 'beetle in the box' example was never Wittgenstein's position - he used it as a reductio ad absurdum of the view which he was opposing. Also, the argument had nothing to do with behaviorism or the reality of the private experience of pain - it was about the meaning of linguistic terms such as 'pain'.
Finally, the attempt to tie this in with the many-worlds interpretation of quantum physics is extremely pseudo-scientific

I'm editing the hell out of this page. It wasn't really good, wandered around a lot, and had no structure. I'm trying to retain as much of the material as possible, but some of it simply does not fall into the category. If you can find a way to re-work the stuff I'm deleting into some sort of structure, I welcome you. I'm trying to streamline this article to actually talk about what various philosophers have written of pain, and not just mention various texts that happen to mention pain. -- ILikeThings 10:24, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Pain is currently Wikiproject Medicine Collaboration of the Week. If any editors here would like to contribute to Pain you may assist in creating an accurate portrayal of human misery. (This sort of thing looks really good on a CV.(humour)) SmithBlue ( talk) 06:49, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
For some philosophers this was the most important aspect of "pain" - something to be avoided. Richiez ( talk) 18:26, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
