n . [

sensation .
See {
Sensate }.]
1 . (
Physiol .)
An impression ,
or the consciousness of an impression ,
made upon the central nervous organ ,
through the medium of a sensory or afferent nerve or one of the organs of sense ;
a feeling ,
or state of consciousness ,
whether agreeable or disagreeable ,
produced either by an external object (
stimulus ),
or by some change in the internal state of the body .
[
1913 Webster ]
Perception is only a special kind of knowledge ,
and sensation a special kind of feeling . . . .
Knowledge and feeling ,
perception and sensation ,
though always coexistent ,
are always in the inverse ratio of each other . --
Sir W .
Hamilton .
[
1913 Webster ]
2 .
A purely spiritual or psychical affection ;
agreeable or disagreeable feelings occasioned by objects that are not corporeal or material .
[
1913 Webster ]
3 .
A state of excited interest or feeling ,
or that which causes it .
[
1913 Webster ]
The sensation caused by the appearance of that work is still remembered by many . --
Brougham .
[
1913 Webster ]
Syn :
Perception .
Usage : {
Sensation }, {
Perseption }.
The distinction between these words ,
when used in mental philosophy ,
may be thus stated ;
if I simply smell a rose ,
I have a sensation ;
if I refer that smell to the external object which occasioned it ,
I have a perception .
Thus ,
the former is mere feeling ,
without the idea of an object ;
the latter is the mind '
s apprehension of some external object as occasioning that feeling .
"
Sensation properly expresses that change in the state of the mind which is produced by an impression upon an organ of sense (
of which change we can conceive the mind to be conscious ,
without any knowledge of external objects ).
Perception ,
on the other hand ,
expresses the knowledge or the intimations we obtain by means of our sensations concerning the qualities of matter ,
and consequently involves ,
in every instance ,
the notion of externality ,
or outness ,
which it is necessary to exclude in order to seize the precise import of the word sensation ." --
Fleming .
