Abstract
From treating the body as a machine to the contemporary obsession with neuroscience, hidden philosophical assumptions are exposed when we think about pain and its treatment. A new conceptualisation called the enactive approach brings together advances in phenomenology and cognitive science and puts the patient and their future at the centre. Peter Stilwell and Sabrina Coninx make the case for a new medical paradigm for pain
