The location of bodily sensations
pp. 161-172
Résumé
What is the difference between a pain in one's foot and a pain in one's stomach? "The most natural and immediate answer", says Williams James, in The Principles of Psychology, is that the difference is one "of place pure and simple".1 But this answer James himself rejects. He rejects it not because of what his experiments, or his introspections, tell him but because of what he calls "an insuperable logical difficulty".
