Feeling
“Feeling . . . I can only say here that the first and main thing which the word suggests to me is the concernment of the whole ‘body-and-mind’ as Plato puts it in building up his account of physical unity on the simple sentence, ‘The man has a pain in his finger.’ It is the whole man, the ‘body-and-mind,’ who has the pain, and in it is one, though it is referred to the finger and localized there.

“When a ‘body-and-mind’ is, as a whole, in any experience, that is the chief feature, I believe, of what we mean by feeling.” — Bernard Bosanquet; Three Lectures on Aesthetic, p. 3
