"An exploration of the past, present, and future of sensory history"-- "Starting from the premise that the sensorium is a historical formation, Mark M. Smith traces the origins of historical work on the senses long before the emergence of the field now called 'sensory history.' Interrogating, exploring, and in some cases recovering pioneering work on the topic, Smith argues that we are at an important moment in the writing of the history of the senses, and he explains the potential that this field holds for the study of history generally. In addition to highlighting the strengths of current work in sensory history, Smith also identifies some of its shortcomings. If sensory history provides historians of all persuasions, times, and places a useful and incisive way to write about the past, it also challenges current practitioners to think more carefully about the historicity of the senses and the desirability—even the urgency—of engaged and sustained debate among themselves. In this way, A Sensory History Manifesto invites scholars to think about how their field needs to evolve if the real interpretive dividends of sensory history are to be realized"--

"What a good laboratory course ought to include is not yet wholly clear, and can only be settled by trial; till this has been done a superfluous liberty of selection may not be wholly a disadvantage. The experiments in these chapters cover but a part of the experimental field, chiefly that of sensation and perception, though it is evidently impossible to take out any sort of mental phenomenon for entirely independent examination. Subjects in this section include visual perception of space and motion, Weber's law and psychophysic methods, and suggested apparatus for psychological experiments."

Insisting that sensation constitutes the data for all science, physical and psychological, Ernst Mach articulated an early form of scientific positivism that provided Kulpe and Titchener with an epistemological framework for their emerging views.
