Summary

One should next consider pain and sorrow. And about this matter, one should first consider sorrow or pain in itself; second, its causes; third, its effects; fourth, its remedies; fifth, its goodness or evilness.

About the first point, eight queries are raised. (1) Whether pain is a passion of the soul. (2) Whether sorrow is the same as pain. (3) Whether sorrow or pain is contrary to pleasure. (4) Whether every sorrow is contrary to every pleasure. (5) Whether there is a sorrow that is contrary to the pleasure of contemplation. (6) Whether sorrow is to be fled more than pleasure is to be desired. (7) Whether exterior pain is greater than interior pain. (8) On the species of sorrow.
