 Strong representationalists are committed to claiming that all aspects of phenomenology are representational. So if this negative affective aspect of pain (i.e., the hurting, painful quality of pains) is a proper part of pain’s overall qualitative phenomenology, then it must also be representational. But what does it represent? Pain phenomenology seems complex in that it seems to consist of at least two dimensions, affective-motivational and sensory-discriminative. Representationalists, along with earlier perceptual theorists, claim that the sensory aspect of pain is representational: it represents tissue damage. But what does the affective aspect represent? There doesn’t seem to be a plausible candidate.
