ABSTRACT
THE THEORIES in this group use the language of spatial location in its physical sense. We are not dealing here with images of value or with orders of being or of quality, but with the perennial idea of the physical seat of psychic functions. Emotion is to be understood through understanding its location in the body. The first group of these theories takes its cue from Hippocrates: 'Men ought to know that from nothing else but the brain come joy, despondency, and lamentation . . . and by the same organ we become mad and delirious and fears and terrors assail us . . .' 1
