The distinction between 'Passion' and 'Emotion'. Vincenzo Chiarugi: a case study.
The distinction between 'passion' and 'emotion' has been largely overlooked in the history of psychiatry and the psychopathology of affectivity. A version of the distinction that has gone completely unnoticed is the one proposed by Florentine physician Vincenzo Chiarugi (1759-1820). The purpose of the present discussion is to introduce this Italian version of the distinction and to inquire into its origins.
