ABSTRACT

MY object is to give an account of the nature of bodily sensations. The word ‘sensation’ is used in different ways, but to speak of ‘sensations’ in common talk is often to speak of bodily sensations. They may be divided into two classes. Sensations of warmth, pressure, motion, distension, etc., form one class. Aches, pains, itches, tickles, erotic sensations, and so on, form the second class.
