several web pages refer to a "history of pain" that Illich was about to publish in 2003 in France. Was this ever published? by whom?

He was able to finish a history of pain which will be published in French next year, as will his complete works

He was able to finish a history of pain (which will be published in French in 2003).

http://webs.lanset.com/aeolusaero/Articles/Mayday%20Cafe--Apr%2004--Ivan%20Illich.htm

The last 10 years of his life were spent coping with a very painful cancerous condition, from which he managed to distill a treatise on the 'history of pain' (published last year in France) before his death.

[edit] Roots

"family with ... Dalmatian roots" doesn't quite mean much in 20th century context. This sounds like a Slavic surname. Croat, Serb, ...? --Joy [shallot] 21:40, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] most celebrated work?

the article notes it is deschooling society. from whence this claim? according to whom? citation? could not medical nemesis take this honor? pleases discuss.Platypusjones 19:24, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Agree Medical Nemesis - ideas widely appreciated by UK GPs, even if we don't agree with his conclusions, we generally appreciate the arguments and the risk of over medicalising or of encouraging dependence by some patients upon their doctors. David Ruben Talk 03:02, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
thanks for the opinion, David. i think any entry is susceptible to favoring one work over the other without necessary support. i'll wait for another opinion and then decide on the change, referring to this discussion if there is concern.Platypusjones 14:58, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question

I don't know anything about this person but what I've read here; I'm just wondering if he should have the "Catholics" tag?• Leon 08:12, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

  Absolutely. I'll add it. Freder1ck 00:51, 21 September 2006 (UTC)Freder1ck
