PHYSICAL SENSIBILITY 331 



4. That the general effect of this action and reaction is necessarily 

 felt by the individual's indivisible ego, and not by any separate part of 

 his body ; so that it is only by illusion that he thinks that the effect 

 is entirely wrought at the point where the impression was received ; 



5. That whenever an individual notices a sensation, identifies it, 

 and distinguishes the point of its body on which it takes effect, the 

 individual then has an idea, thinks, carries out an act of intelhgence, 

 and must therefore possess the special organ for producing it ; 



6. Lastly, that, where the system of sensations exists without the 

 system of understanding, the individual performs no act of intelhgence, 

 has no ideas, and only derives from its senses simple perceptions 

 which it does not notice, although they may arouse its inner feeling 

 and make it act. 



Let us now endeavour if possible to form a clear idea of the emotions 

 of the inner feehng of any individual possessing physical sensibility, 

 and to ascertain what power this individual gains from it, for carrying 

 out its actions.
