El sentido del dolor según Leonardo Polo. (Spanish)

Pain is the feeling of a lack of good regarding life and vital functions. If it is present in the human person in a serious degree, and it is irremediable, it appears as incomprehensible and insuperable. According to Hegel, the meaning of pain lies in the negativity of the spirit. Pain is a consequence of the dialectical movement of being, therefore it is installed in God himself. Leonardo Polo holds the unintelligibility of human suffering. The human person not only suffers, but her very existence is painful. Its ultimate root is sin. Only Christ's passion makes meaningful human pain, because in the Cross pain and voluntary evil are defeated by love. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El dolor nace de la sensibilidad ante la privación de un bien que tiene que ver con la vida y sus funciones. Cuando afecta a la persona de un modo grave e irremediable, aparece como incomprensible e insuperable. Hegel pone el significado del dolor en la negatividad del espíritu. El dolor surge del carácter dialéctico del ser y así está instalado en Dios. Leonardo Polo sostiene la ininteligibilidad del sufrimiento humano. La persona no sólo sufre, sino que su existencia misma es dolorosa. Su última raíz es el pecado. Lo único que da sentido al sufrimiento humano es la Pasión de Cristo, en la que el dolor y el mal voluntario son vencidos por el amor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
