In order to understand and elucidate the main concepts of phenomenological psychology, the writer has made a review on phenomenology movement history as well as the relevant phenomenological psychology literature. In this part, the thesis shows phenomenological psychology’s brief development history, main concepts and implementing methods of phenomenological psychology. 2. In order to understand Sartre’s concepts of body ontology and to elucidate his ontological delineation about human lived pain experience, the writer has also studied Sartre’s phenomenological essay on ontology Being and Nothingness and other relevant commentary literature. Namely, in this part, the thesis discusses：(1)the notions of being-for-itself, being-in-itself, being-for-the-other (2)the description of three body-ontological dimensions（the body as being-for-itself, the body as being-for-the-other, my body as body-known-by-the-other）(3)Sartre’s analysis of pain and illness in which he identifies four distinct levels of constitution of meaning：lived pain, suffered illness, disease, and the disease state. 3. Combining above-mentioned theoretical understanding with the anecdotes of Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyitch as well as a phenomenological example of the tennis player’s chest-pain, finally, the thesis phenomenologically analyzes the various aspects of lived pain experience.
