This phenomenon is not confined to hearing: " If we slowly approach our finger to a surface of water, we often deceive ourselves about the moment in which the wetting occurs. The apprehensive patient believes himself to feel the knife of the surgeon whilst it is still at some distance." Visual perception supplies numberless instances in which the same sensation of vision is perceived as one object or another according to the interpretation of the mind. Many of these instances will come before us in the course of the next two chapters; and in Chapter XIX similar illusions will be described in the other senses. Taken together, all these facts would force us to admit that the subjective difference between imagined and felt objects is less absolute than has been claimed, and that the cortical processes which underlie imagination and sensation are not quite as discrete as one at ßrst is tempted to suppose. That peripheral sensory processes are ordinarily involved in imagination seems improbable; that they may sometimes be aroused from the cortex doivnuxirds cannot, hou-ever, be dogmatically denied. The imagination-process Can then pass over into the sensation-process. In other words, genuine sensations can be centrally originated. When we come to study hallucinations in the chapter on Outer Perception, we shall see that this is by no means a thing of rare occurrence. At present, however, we must admit that normally the two processes do Not pass over into each other; and we must inquire why. One of two things must be the reason. Either 1. Sensation-processes occupy a different locality from imagination-processes; or 2. Occupying the same locality, they have an intensity which under normal circumstances Books, Psychology~~General, Principles-Of-Psychology~~Herbert-Spencer, 999999999, The Principles Of Psychology (Volume 2), Herbert Spencer, 0217282172, General Books LLC, , , , , General Books LLC<

Excerpt: ... chapter tx..esthetic sentiments. SS 533. Many years ago I met with a quotation from a German author to the effect that the aesthetic sentiments originate from the play-impulse. I do not remember tho name of the author; and if any reasons were given for this statement, or any inferences drawn from it, I cannot recall them. But the statement itself has remained with me, as being one which, if not literally true, is yet the adumbration of a truth. The activities we call play are united with the aesthetic activities, by the trait that neither subserve, in any direct way, the processes conducive to life. The bodily powers, the intellectual faculties, the instincts, appetites, passions and even those highest feelings we have lately dealt with, have maintenance of the organic equilibrinm of the individual, or else maintenance of the species, as their immediate or remote ends. Arrest one of the viscera, and the vital actions quickly cease; prevent a limb from moving, and the ability to meet surrounding circumstances is seriously interfered with; destroy a sense-organ, paralyze a perceptive power, derange the reason, and there comes more or less failure in that adjustment of conduct to conditions by which life is preserved; and if those egoistic sentiments which prompt care of property and liberty, or those ego-altruistic and altruistic ones which regulate conduct towards others, do not act, impediments to complete life are caused by absence of means or by the alienation of fellow-men. But while the primary actions of the faculties, bodily and mental, with their accompanying gratifications, are thus obviously l''elated to proximate ends that imply ulterior benefits, those actions of them which constitute play, and those which yield the aesthetic gratifications, do not...
