“On Pain” Page
17.
“The central
question concerning the rank of present values can be answered by determining
to what extent the body can be treated as an object.
The secret of
modern sensitivity is that it corresponds to a world in which the body is itself
the highest value.”
This passage,
although two different paragraphs, still intertwined in my opinion. O chose this passage because it was extremely
interesting how it explored the feelings and objects together. We look at today’s times and take notice
that as people we do not hold our bodies to be the highest in value. We abuse our bodies and take advantage of our
pain. We profit off of our struggles but
never realizing that what we go through corresponds with society. In this aspect, the quote is correct because
it takes from the point of view of their correspondent. Visualizing how the world they live in
“corresponds to a world in which the body is itself the highest value.”
