 David Armstrong (1962) has been the only one to offer a taxonomy of all these bodily experiences. He draws a first contrast between bodily sensations and bodily feelings. Sensations, such as touch and pain, are local whereas feelings, such as thirst, hunger, fatigue, sleepiness, dizziness, and shortness of breath, are global. For instance, you can distinguish the local sensation of pinprick at the tip of your index finger with the diffuse feeling of fatigue in your whole body. Or consider the case of thirst: it reveals the general state of the entirety of your body missing water. More generally, interoceptive feelings inform us about the welfare of the organism as a whole. Their spatial principle of organization is thus holistic. Within the category of bodily sensations, Armstrong further distinguishes transitive and intransitive bodily sensations. One experiences a mind-independent object in transitive sensations, as in touch, but it does not seem so in intransitive ones, as in pain. As described by Reid (1764: 56),
