Ned Block on Pain - Dictionary of Arguments
II 572 Pain/Hypnosis/Block: What reason is there to think that there is pain under hypnosis at all? Some authors assume a "hidden observer" (part of the person). II 574 Pain/Anesthesia/Block: There is a difference between whether a patient receives a general anesthesia or a local anesthesia, a local anesthetic. In the case of local anesthesia, he cannot remember any pain, regardless of whether the local anesthetic was performed alone or together with a general anesthesia. This is avoided by intravenously administered valium. After an anesthesia, he can "recall" the pain Block: the agonizing notion is that this is a case of p-consciousness without a-consciousness. - - - Terminology: Metzinger II 458 Def Z-consciousness/terminology/block: to be z-conscious of a fact means that the information is available for rational reasoning.
