Dolorism posits that pain is intrinsically bad due to its unpleasant phenomenal character, suggesting its negativity is independent of external circumstances or subjective attitudes.
Proponents of attitude theory argue that pain is bad because individuals have an intrinsic desire to avoid it, intertwining sensory pleasure with desire.
Reverse conditionalism suggests that a painful experience is considered bad if it fails to meet certain conditions where the pain is outweighed by positive aspects.
Both dolorism and attitude theories encounter limitations, failing to fully account for complex experiences where pleasure and pain coexist.
