Part 2 documents how the senses have been disciplined psychologically within the Western tradition, starting with Aristotle and moving through the rise of Lockean empiricism and cognitive neuroscience. Here, Howes presents an anthropologically informed critique of experimental and cognitive psychology, sensory science, and phenomenology. In part 3, he introduces the paradigm of the \"historical anthropology of the senses and sensation\" and applies it to the analysis of trade relations between Europe and China in the early modern period, to the treaty-making process in North America during the colonial period, and to all the unresolved disputes over land rights and Indigenous sovereignty that continue to this day, arguing that these differences are rooted in a cultural clash of sensoria.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for the classroom, \u003ci\u003eSensorial Investigations \u003c\/i\u003edisplays an expansive critical engagement with generations of scholarship.
