Internal Sensations

The book discusses an unnamed sense through which internal organs reveal their presence and condition. Muscular feelings, hunger and thirst appear as examples, and the author distinguishes these from touch while acknowledging an affinity between them.

A passage attributed to Bernstein contrasts knowledge of external occurrences and objects with feeling conditions of one's own body. The surrounding lesson still introduces the familiar list of sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste, so the unnamed bodily sense complicates that five-part scheme.

This is a historical distinction between outward perception and inward bodily feeling. The passage can be compared with later sensory classifications, but this entry does not identify its unnamed category with a modern diagnosis or claim that bodily sensations disclose hidden truths.
