"In this original study, Jamie Mayerfeld undertakes a careful inquiry into the meaning and moral significance of suffering. Understanding suffering in hedonistic terms as an affliction of feeling, he addresses difficulties associated with its identification and measurement. He then turns to an examination of the duty to relieve suffering: its content, its weight relative to other moral considerations, and the role it should play in our lives."--Jacket
Introduction -- The meaning of suffering -- The measurement of suffering -- The moral significance of suffering -- The duty to relieve suffering -- The moral asymmetry of happiness and suffering -- Trade-offs internal to the duty to relieve suffering -- The limits of the duty to relieve suffering
