In Hippocrates’s
(460-370 BCE) view,
there are four
humours: the brain
was not only
considered the seat

it was also regarded
as the source of
pleasure and pain,
the origin of
emotions, and the
font of moral
judgment and
aesthetic experiences

hypothesis” or

theory”
Taosim (500-200BCE), and its main

the Yang, portray this desirable balance
