Scarry asserts that language fails to adequately express the experience of pain as it destroys a person's ability to produce language. Therefore, pain destroys human consciousness.
There's an implicit premise here that the production of language is synonymous with human consciousness.
The implicit premise is incorrect. I also disagree that pain destroys our ability to perceive other things. Pain focuses the mind.
