This work analyzes the problem of human pain and suffering from two perspectives. The first, that of Saint Thomas Aquinas, especially in his work Disputed Questions on Evil. The second, that of Luigi Pareyson, in his work Ontology of freedom, myth and suffering. In the path of Thomas Aquinas we analyze the concept of evil in itself and in this context that of innocent pain or suffering. Along the lines of Luigi Pareyson, we analyze the issue from a more experiential point of view. The objective of this document is to understand what both authors tell us about the problem of pain in order to put them in dialogue and elaborate the synthesis that we present here.
