Summary/Abstract: The essential role of emotions as internal states that are related to the way a person enters into a relationship with himself and the outside world, as well as the fact that they are some of the most important indicators of how a person reacts to external (but also internal) stimuli, has increasingly been discussed in psychology, cognitive neurology, literary theory, philosophy, etc. It was only in the 19th century, with Darwin’s studies, that scientific studies of feelings and their connections with biochemical and physiological processes in the human organism began. Until then, they were mainly the subject of philosophical considerations within which they usually played a secondary role in relation to reason.
