Excerpt from Psychological Analysis and Theory of Hearing Sensations of taste may be added to this group. Their attributes are identical with those of the cutaneous sensations in all respects but one, viz. That in taste we find four different qualities. But this difference presents no real difficulty. We have almost as much reason to see in the four qualities of taste four different senses as in the four different qualities of cutaneous sensation. What these reasons are need not be recounted here. At the same time we may readily admit that the four gustatory qualities are more akin to one another than are the other four. Thus arises the suggestion and the problem that the sensory qualities occur only in forms which differ from one another by a distinct step. The solution of this problem must be the preliminary to any problem as to the nature of the difference between qualities.
