ABSTRACT
The collapse of the suggestion that intransitive bodily sensations are sensible qualities qualifying portions of body leads on to a more plausible idea. Nevertheless, there remain two serious difficulties which have to be overcome before the identification can be accepted. It is a feature of sense-impressions that they either correspond or fail to correspond to an objective state of affairs. So the distinction between the transitive bodily sensations, which are bodily sense-impressions (feeling dry, feeling hot, feeling full), and the intransitive bodily sensations (aches, pains, itches, etc.), has not been explained. It may be replied that modern physics shows the reader that there is no place for the secondary qualities in physical reality. A more plausible attempt to drive a logical wedge between the primary and the secondary qualities is to point to the different ways the people check claims about such qualities.
