    Lafaye distinguishes between "sensation" and "sentiment".

    1. Objects cause (pleasant or unpleasant) "sensations", and the soul, as a result, is subject to "sentiments".

    2. "Sensations" are often moentary, or at least transitory, "sentiments" are construed as permanent or at least lasting.

    3. "Sensations" are reactions to something concrete, "sentiments" are often caused by abstract considerations.

    4. "Sensations" are primary sense-based, "sentiments" typically involve

    5. "On subit des sensations", "On concoit des sentiments", "on entretient des sensations".

    See also p. 940, where the distinction is between "sensation, sentiment" and "perception".

    1. "Perception" relates to knowledge, and it can be more or less clear, whereas "sensations/sentiments" relates to one's emotional state, and these are primarily pleasant or unpleasant.

    Interestingly, Lafaye does not deal with "passion", which is intensitive.

    See also p. 170:

    "Emoi" is the inner movement of the soul, "emotion" focusses more on the physiological than on the purely affective side.
