ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the authors give an account of the transitive bodily sensations—sensations of warmth, of pressure, of motion, of distension, etc. It is true that there seems to be some phenomenological difference between sensations of heat and pressure, on the one hand, and kinaesthetic sensations on the other. The sensations just happen to accompany the perceptions, but are quite distinct from them. What happens, the author think, is that sensations of heat and pressure are often accompanied by certain intransitive sensations (heat by prickling, for instance) which are usually absent in the case of kinaesthetic sensations, Sensations of heat and pressure arouse affective attitudes much more readily than kinaesthetic sensations. In any case, if the identification is rejected, then some further account of the nature of transitive sensations must be given.
