"Studies in the Evolutionary Psychology of Feeling" by Hiram M. Stanley is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work examines the psychological concept of feeling from a biologic and evolutionary perspective, analyzing its origins and development through introspective studies. The author expresses a commitment to exploring these complex and often contentious topics within psychology, acknowledging that he does not adhere to a singular theory but rather presents a series of studies. The opening of the text introduces the foundations of psychological inquiry regarding feeling, emphasizing the discrepancies in psychological manuals and the absence of a unified understanding of this area. Stanley critiques the current state of psychology, noting that significant aspects of feeling are insufficiently explored and often mired in philosophical bias. He argues for a scientific approach to understanding emotions and psychological states, initiating an introspective investigation into feeling, pain, and pleasure, while highlighting the intricate relationship between physiology and psychology. Throughout this introductory portion, Stanley aims to lay the groundwork for a more rigorous analysis of emotions that acknowledges their evolutionary context.
