{"title":"A brief history of English disgust","authors":"Richard Firth-Godbehere","doi":"10.53841/bpshpp.2019.20.1.3","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.53841/bpshpp.2019.20.1.3","url":null,"abstract":"Generally, researchers assume that the experience of disgust is universal, shared by all humans at all times. It is under this assumption that much of the growing field of the history of disgust studies operates. However, no single concept of disgust exists. For example, while many believe that the causes of disgust are universal, others do not. Others have noted that the English word ‘disgust’ does not have identical equivalents in other languages, pointing to no single, shared concept of disgust. This article looks more closely at that last idea, noting that the word ‘disgust’ did not take on its current usage until the mid-eighteenth century. Beginning with an exploration of modern understandings of disgust, the paper charts the development of the modern English concept of the feeling. It argues that rather than being a universal emotion, the modern concept of disgust began when the word was used by early eighteenth-century taste theorists to describe a feeling of anti-taste – an extreme reaction to the opposite of beauty. Even then, this disgust was somewhat different from modern disgust, with deeper links to displeasure and horror than modern notions of the feeling. The main point of the article is the suggestion that historians of emotion research what look like modern emotions in the past, particularly disgust, that they ought to be cautious. Even if modern feelings appear to apply to historical events and ideas, a more in-depth look will often reveal a more complex era-dependant experience somewhat different from the modern concept.","PeriodicalId":123600,"journal":{"name":"History & Philosophy of Psychology","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132197336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the 17th century there had been another significant shift in the meaning of emotion words when they came to refer to subjective feelings in a new way. There has been much controversy about the concept of ‘basic’ emotions, which is unpopular with historians of emotion. However, I am persuaded that some such distinction is needed; a distinction between primary and secondary emotions is somewhat akin to the earlier distinction between passions and affections. Emotions have various manifestations, including behavioural, physiological and subjective. These are often aligned, though they do not have to be. There has been considerable interest in the couplings between different manifestations. Most current work on the history of emotions is being done by historians but it would be good to see more psychological interest in a historical approach to emotions, and cross fertilisation between the work of historians and psychologists.","PeriodicalId":123600,"journal":{"name":"History & Philosophy of Psychology","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125792862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While he has been little studied in recent times, he developed a complex and detailed system of psychology centred on instinct and social relations that was very widely circulated in his day. A distinctive aspect of his approach is that he largely rejected reductionism and associationism, preferring a psychological model with a strong note of personalism. He was active in identifying the parallels between his approach and Freud’s, and his non-reductive intuitions generate an interesting rejoinder to Freud. This paper reviews McDougall’s system of psychology, discusses the points of intersection he identified with Freudian ideas, and comments on McDougall’s complaint about the narrowness of the Freudian focus on sex.","PeriodicalId":123600,"journal":{"name":"History & Philosophy of Psychology","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134444675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The 2001 text was taken from a manuscript draft in Berlin’s papers, since the final version was presumed lost. However, a clutch of papers has now surfaced in the course of archival cataloguing at All Souls that includes not only the final printed text, but also two previously unknown contemporary letters from Berlin to the Warden of the College (W.S.G. Adams), as well as other related documents.The text of the memorandum turns out to have been considerably changed and enlarged after the published draft was written. Space prevents complete publication of the final version here, but the main portion is reproduced below. The omitted portions are mainly of more local interest, and can be read as part of the complete text available in the Isaiah Berlin Virtual Library athttp://berlin.wolf.ox.ac.uk/published_works/singles/bib250brevised.pdf.

These developments are documented in an archive of the BPS which is now held by the Wellcome Trust, an archive that has been hitherto overlooked by historians of psychology and psychiatry. This paper will provide some reasons why this debate occurred at this particular moment in history, concluding that this is a critical period of study for those interested in the recent histories of psychology and psychiatry within the United Kingdom, which was one of the major international centres for research in the mental sciences during the immediate post-war period. It will go on to suggest that the relationship between psychiatry and psychology in the UK can be used to make sense of the historical developments that have helped to shape psychology and psychiatry as distinct disciplines.","PeriodicalId":123600,"journal":{"name":"History & Philosophy of Psychology","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132064983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
