Abstract :This study argues that pain should be understood not only as a physiological or psychological phenomenon but as a multidimensional experience encompassing the social dimension. The aim of the research is to comparatively analyze objective, subjective, and social approaches to the definition of pain, contributing to a more inclusive conceptualization. The study was conducted through literature review, analyzing philosophical texts, medical studies, sociological insights, and contemporary definitions. Data were evaluated using descriptive analysis, with a particular focus on critiques of the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) definition. The main finding reveals that current objective definitions center primarily on the biological aspects of pain, overlooking its psychological, ethical, and social dimensions. The research demonstrates that pain cannot be properly evaluated when subjective expressions and social contexts are ignored. In conclusion, the paper advocates for the development of comprehensive approache that recognize the multidimensional nature of pain and its entanglement with individual experience and societal structures.
