Philosophy of Science in Practice: Insights from Rani Lill Anjum & Elena Rocca

In this episode of the Modern Pain Podcast, host Mark Kargela discusses the philosophy of science as it pertains to pain research with philosophers Rani Lill Anjum and Elena Rocca. The conversation revolves around their book, which critiques traditional scientific approaches and emphasizes the importance of understanding philosophical biases in research. The trio explores how empirical methods often fail to address the complexity of individual pain experiences, the ethical dilemmas in excluding certain populations from research, and the significance of patient stories in clinical practice. This episode aims to provide clinicians with a deeper understanding of the philosophical underpinnings of the science they use in their own practices.
