Looking for Spinoza: Joy, Sorrow, and the Feeling Brain

by António Damásio

love is nothing but a pleasurable state, joy, accompanied by the idea of an external cause,

Joy or sorrow, along with the idea of the objects that caused either, eventually came together in the mind, of course, but they were distinct processes to begin with, within our organisms.

the human mind is the idea of the human body.

Be careful. Watch out for what you say (and write) or not even your bones will escape.
