First published in 1962, Bodily Sensations argues that bodily
sensations are nothing but impressions that physical happenings are
taking place in the body, impressions that may correspond or fail
to correspond to physical reality. In the case of such sensations
as pains, these impressions are accompanied by certain attitudes to
the impressions. He argues, that is to say that bodily sensations
are a sub-species of sense-impression, standing to perception of
our own bodily state (or in some cases to touch) as visual
impressions stand to the sense of sight. He examines, and tries to
refute, all plausible alternative accounts of the nature of bodily
sensations. He prefaces his argument by an account of tactual and
bodily perception. Here he argues that, with the exception of heat
and cold, the qualities discerned by these senses are all reducible
to spatial and temporal properties of material objects. Combined
with his own conclusions on bodily sensations, this allows him to
draw up a short and exhaustive list of the so-called "secondary"
qualities of physical objects. This book will be of interest to
students of philosophy.
