The Body in Question: How Do You Feel?

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

by Jonathan Miller

Some pains are worse than others, and sometimes an injury that agonised you before hardly hurts at all when it happens again. Jonathan Miller argues that part of the difficulty in explaining feelings like pain arises from the way the brain governs the body and the way our 'felt-self' differs from the physical self.
It is in this felt-self that all our sensations happen, and if this felt-self is separated from the body then some very peculiar sensations begin to occur.

(A printed version will be in The Listener dated 23 Nov. A Symphony of the Body, Tues R4, 8.45 pm, not Wales)
