<jats:p>Philosophers often assume that folk hold pain to be a mental state. However, folk also assign pains bodily locations: unlike most other mental states, pains are held to exist in arms, feet, etc. This has led some to talk of the “paradox of pain,” whereby the folk notion of pain is inherently conflicted. Recently, several authors have rejected the paradox view, arguing for a univocal, Bodily view of the folk notion of pain. This paper presents six objections to the Bodily view. We then outline a direction for future research—the “Polyeidic approach”—whereby the folk notion of pain is held to be complex.</jats:p>
