James-Lange theory

The history of interoception science goes back to Charles Darwin, who discussed the role of visceral sensations in emotion in The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals, and then William James and Carl Lange, who explored the relationship between interoception and emotional experience and developed the James-Lange theory of emotion.

This supports the James-Lange theory of emotion, stating “We are afraid because we run.”

������ psychology has to say about emotions—the James-Lange theory, for instance—is absolutely incomprehensible for us psychoanalysts, and cannot be discussed.

The James-Lange theory is itself concerned with order and connection between emotional states, perceptions, and responses.

The other source of Dewey's psychology, which is now to be considered, is the James-Lange theory of the emotions.
