The Physical Conditions of Consciousness
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 February 2018
Extract
I have read with much interest Prof. Cleland's article “On the Seat of Consciousness.” I agree with many of the author's opinions, especially with those contained in the critical or negative part of his work; but it appears to me that the positive portion, notably the extension of consciousness to the peripheral terminations of the nerves, is scarcely in agreement with the facts supplied by clinical observation and physiological experiment.

* I propose this name of panæsthesia to express the totality of what an individual feels at a given moment. One often designates the same thing by the word coenrssthesia; but it seems to me etyrnologically less suitable, because the entire consciousness may be occupied by one single sensation, and psychologically because one ofteu employs it to indicate the groups of organic or visceral sensations.
