4. Of course, "pain" is an experience, and is already mental. The distinc-
tion between "mental" and "physical" pain may indulge a merely
metaphoric use of the term, pain, in such a contrast. Nevertheless, the dis-
tinction still has a commonsense validity: A headache is not the same kind of
"pain" as loneliness. A good collection of articles on this issue as it appears
in psychosomatic disorders is found in Finell ( 1997).
5. This rather abrupt claim goes undefended here; the reader is invited to
see the extent it might be justified by reading further.
6. I am of course aware that various "language games" or specialized jar-
gons create many conceptual frameworks and discursive realms. I single out
mental and physical because they are each very elaborate, coercive, and
essential in modern (meaning the last three or four centuries) life, unlike
other specialized discourses. These two also are particularly invisible insofar
as they both have been reduced to common sense, and people have become
adept at living simultaneously within the reach of both discourses without
noting that they tack back and forth, nearly every minute of every day.
