There is something irretrievably diffuse about their usage, in many cases, and in many others the number of relevant examples in the early literature is so small that it is impossible to get anything like a firm grip on their precise semantics. Under these circumstances I have tried to compensate for lack of neat analysis with more quotation, especially from Chǔcí. Throughout this section I quote my teacher David Hawkes' translations, mindful of the fact that many of these were written in the third year of his study of Chinese......

                              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.
