Section 4. Translating from English into Russian
1.Before Darwin, human emotional life had posed problems to the west-
ern philosophical categories of mind and body.
2.Darwin's interest can be traced to his time as a medical student and
the 1824 edition of Sir Charles Bell's Anatomy and Philosophy of Expression
which argued for a spiritual dimension to the subject.
3.In contrast, Darwin's biological approach links emotions to their ori-
gins in animal behavior, and allows cultural factors only an auxiliary role in
the shaping of expression.
4.is biological emphasis leads to a concentration on six emotional states:
happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust. It also leads to an appreciation of the universal nature of expression, with its implication of a single
origin for the entire human species; and Darwin points to the importance of
emotional communication with children in their psychological development.
5.Darwin sought out the opinions of some leading British psychiatrists,
notably James Crichton-Browne, in the preparation of the book which forms
his main contribution to psychology.
