The great bulk of our æsthetic feelings unquestionably are associations and of central origin. In view of this, and impressed by the common belief that all central copies or products must at some time have prototype sensations of peripheral origin, it should now be the major concern of any hypothesis offered for the solution of our problem to account for the fundamental origin of the ultimate pain and pleasure elements of our aesthetic associations.
