Conclusion

SO it turns out that all bodily sensations (whether ‘transitive’ or ‘intransitive’) are simply bodily sense-impressions, or, in some cases, tactual sense-impressions. Bodily sensations are a species of sense-impression. When we have a bodily sensation it feels to us as if something were going on in our body or as if something were in contact with our body: impressions that may or may not correspond to reality. We can give an account of bodily sensation in terms of the concepts involved in perception: no unique, irreducible, concepts are required. This is quite an important simplification in the field of philosophical psychology.
