Science as Art - link & response for last week

From last week's readings on the development of psychology in America (with a focus on functionalism v. structuralism)...

I found Titchener's "periodic table" of the sensational elements of psychology fascinating. I wonder what the over 44,000 distinct sensations could be. I searched far and wide (well, Google searched) for a list of the "periodic table" of the sensations, but I couldn't find it. Has anyone else been successful?

Anyway, I found this article instead. It really got me wondering about the type of thinking involved with inventive psychology. During the late 1800's, when psychology was just a baby, it took a lot of creative thinking to come up with some of these schools of thought. A couple weeks ago in class we had a discussion about James and his artistic background. The article I pulled up on Titchener made me believe that he, too, had an artistic mind. The language he uses is very visual, descriptive, and I think he's done his best in trying to impress specific sensations upon the reader. The imagination abilities involved with making great strides in science are great; it takes more than just a knowledge of the basic theories of science, it takes creativity.

However, the way Titchener has written this piece makes me want to find his list of sensations even more!!
